A coating for furniture, cured by ultraviolet exposure, was prepared from E-44 epoxy resin and acrylic acid under an onium salt as catalyst. The curing process of this epoxy acrylate coating was traced to determine the percent conversion of double bonds both by infrared spectrum analysis and chemical titration methods. Comparison of the results from the two methods verified the feasibility of applying IR Spectroscopy to monitoring the curing process of UV-curing coatings on line.
