The AdPhos subsidiary Eltosch GmbH, founded in 1967, is one of the world’s leading suppliers of UV, IR and Thermo-Air technologies. UV inks and coatings have grown considerably in importance among many industrial companies, and the integration of Eltosch provides the basis for excellent synergies in this sector.
 
 
Stable and eco-friendly UV curing
 
The high scratch-resistance, impermeability to chemicals and eco-friendliness of UV inks and coatings have made UV curing a method of choice for surface coating. This trend is set to continue as the European VOC Directive relating to products with high solvent contents tightens environmental legislation. As a result, UV curing represents a further invaluable alternative to conventional drying techniques. One key feature of the UV technology provided by Eltosch is its minimal thermal load, which means that UV-polymerizing coatings can also be used on heat-sensitive substrates. Just like NIR, the UV drying systems take up only a minimum of space, thanks to the compact design common to all AdPhos products. NIR technology complements UV curing superbly in combined drying processes where additional thermal treatment is required.
