| abstract |
Clear film is laminated to a base such as paper, paper-like materials, plastics and board through the medium of an adhesive which is curable by ultra-violet or electron-beam radiation. The adhesive is irradiated through the clear film to cure it in the absence of oxygen excluded by the act of bringing the film and base together. High solids adhesives with low viscosity and a high flash point are preferred such as methacrylates and dimethacrylates. |
