- Product Applications
- L-3685 may be applied by spray or gravure methods.
- Films must be dried completely before UV energy cure.
- UV irradiation is required to attain optimal film properties, but un-cured coating films are durable enough for handling prior to curing.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Curing
- L-3685 must be air-dried, or oven dried (temperature: 150 – 170° F; dwell time: 10 minutes) to remove water from the film prior to UV exposure.
- A photo-initiator must be incorporated into the coating formulation for effective curing. See starting point formulations for suggestions.
- Exposure guidelines: MPMA lamp - 300 watts/in² , 2.0 – 3.0 second dwell time.
