Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for thermally activating a functional layer of a coating material, preferably an edge material, wherein the method comprises the following steps: providing the coating material; feeding the coating material to a device for thermally activating a functional layer of the coating material; and thermally activating the functional layer of the coating material, wherein the thermal activation of the functional layer of the coating material occurs by microwaves which are generated by at least one semiconductor wave generator. The present invention also relates to a device for thermally activating a functional layer of a coating material.
Claims10
A method for thermally activating a functional layer of a coating material (3), wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- providing the coating material (3);
- feeding the coating materials (3) into a device (10) for thermally activating a functional layer of the coating material;
- and
- thermally activating the functional layer of the coating material (3),
- wherein the thermal activation of the functional layer of the coating material (3) is performed by electromagnetic waves, in particular microwaves which are produced by at least one semiconductor wave generator (11a, 11b, 11c).
A device (10) for thermally activating a functional layer of a coating material (3) having:
- at least one semiconductor wave generator (11a, 11b, 11c),
- wherein the semiconductor wave generator (11a, 11b, 11c) is able to produce electromagnetic waves, preferably microwaves, which are then able to thermally activate the functional layer of the coating material (3).
