Abstract:
A process for applying a protective and/or decorative coating to a floor surface under ambient air conditions, including the steps of:spreading a liquid coating on a floor surface under ambient air conditions, said liquid coating being photochemically completely curable in response to the application of only two different wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation,thereafter, under ambient air conditions, moving a source of ultraviolet radiation which provides the two different ultraviolet wavelengths across the floor being coated, so that the liquid floor coating is sequentially exposed first to a longer wavelength ultraviolet radiation, whereby a subsurface portion of the coating is cured as the ultraviolet radiation source passes over the floor surface and second to a shorter wavelength ultraviolet radiation for surface cure of the coating.
