Abstract
The present invention provides an applicator for thermally activating a functional layer of a coating material, comprising: a base body designed to guide the coating material in a running direction, wherein the base body is able to guide electromagnetic waves in the direction of the guided coating material, wherein a dielectric is arranged inside the base body and the dielectric is formed of granular material. The present invention also provides a device for thermally activating a coating material, a use of a dielectric, and a method for thermally activating a functional layer of a coating material.
Claims12
An applicator (10) for thermally activating a functional layer of a coating material (8), comprising:
