U. V. Processing of “Solventless” Coatings for Automotive Plastic Lense Material

A “solventless” coating process for Plastic Automotive Lenses utilizing Ultraviolet Cure Technology has been developed which can be completely recovered and used without adjustment.

The resultant product has utility in both interior and exterior environments. In addition, Beta backscatter techniques can be used to non-destructively measure the coating thickness which is important to many end use areas. Finally, process parameters are related to performance.
