Radiation curing has found applications in many branches of industry. This technology can also be applied in textile finishing. Coating and pigment print ing, as well as other finishing processes, can be performed successfully with UV- curing and electron beam curing (EB). This paper discloses some results of a study for UV-curable coatings and the development of UV-curable binders for pigment printing.
