Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a system and method for using a volatile organic compound (VOC) free low radiant flux LED UV curable composition, and more particularly to unique and novel uses of the composition such as one or two or more of a fire retardant, clear coat, composite material, resin, top coat, improved holdout coating, a sealant coat, and combinations of the same.

A VOC free low radiant flux UV curable pre-impregnated (pre-peg) material, comprising:
- a composite material that is substantially saturated with a VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition comprising:
- an acrylate monomers/oligomers;
- a thiol monomers/oligomers;
- a photo initiator;
- and
- a radical inhibitor,
- wherein the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition is configured to be curable with 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 substantially saturated composite material of about 500 mW/cm2 or less to cure at least a portion of the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition to form a cured composite material.
A VOC free low radiant flux UV curable pre-impregnated (pre-peg) material, comprising:
- a fiberglass composite material in a patch configuration that is substantially saturated with a VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition comprising:
- an acrylate monomers/oligomers;
- a thiol monomers/oligomers;
- a photo initiator;
- and
- a radical inhibitor,
- wherein the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition is configured to be curable with 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 substantially saturated composite material of about 100 mW/cm2 or less to cure at least a portion of the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition to form a cured composite material.
A VOC free low radiant flux UV curable pre-impregnated (pre-peg) material, comprising:
- a fiberglass composite material in a roll configuration that is substantially saturated with a VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition comprising:
- an acrylate monomers/oligomers;
- a thiol monomers/oligomers;
- a photo initiator;
- and
- a radical inhibitor,
- wherein the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition is configured to be curable with 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 substantially saturated composite material of about 100 mW/cm2 or less to cure at least a portion of the VOC free low radiant flux UV curable composition to form a cured composite material.
