A method of using a volatile organic compound (VOC) free low radiant flux UV curable composition, comprising:
- preparing a substrate for receiving the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition;
- applying the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition on the substrate;
- and
- applying an energy source having a wavelength in a range from about 360 nm to about 420 nm and a radiant flux at a surface of the applied coating of about 100 mW/cm2 or less to cure the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition and form a combination corrosive protective coating and clear coating within about 120 seconds or less, wherein the corrosive protective coating is resistant to an acid having a pH of less than 1.
A method of using a volatile organic compound (VOC) free low radiant flux UV curable composition, comprising:
- applying the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition on a substrate;
- and
- applying an energy source having a wavelength in a range from about 360 nm to about 420 nm and a radiant flux at a surface of the applied coating of about 100 mW/cm2 or less to cure the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition with a conversion of greater than 80 percent and form a combination corrosive protective and clear coating within about 120 seconds or less, wherein the cured combination corrosive protective and clear coating is resistant to an acid having a pH or less than 3, and
- wherein the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition comprises:
- an acrylate component;
- a thiol component;
- a photo initiator component;
- a radical inhibitor component;
- and
- a nanoparticles.
A method of using a volatile organic compound (VOC) free low radiant flux UV for encapsulation or sealing at least a portion of a substrate, comprising:
- applying the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition on the substrate;
- and
- applying an energy source having a wavelength in a range from about 360 nm to about 420 nm and a radiant flux at a surface of the applied coating of about 100 mW/cm2 or less to form a cured non-permeable sealant coating having a conversion of greater than 80 percent within about 120 seconds or less, and
- wherein the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition comprises:
- an acrylate component;
- a thiol component;
- a photo initiator component;
- and
- a radical inhibitor component.
