Radiation curing technology can increase production, save money, improve working conditions, and decrease pollution. Manual 45, the only practical handbook of its kind, focuses on this growing technology and is specifically directed at those who are in the field of radiation curing of coatings, adhesives, inks, and sealants.

The manual's straightforward style makes it easily understood and allows readers to go directly from the book to their specific work area of radiation-curing technology. In general, the book relies on written explanations rather than numerous figures and tables. Because it impartially and objectively deals with these topics, the reader can decide which particular chemistry to pursue.

Industrial applications include: overprint varnishes, printing and graphic arts, automotive, plastics, electrical, electronic, optical, UV powders, and wood finishing.
