Abstract:
1. A method for producing a crosslinked elastomer by radiating a polymer dispersion of at least one crosslinkable polymer with electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet (UV light) and/or visible spectral range, wherein the crosslinking is performed in at least two stages as pre-crosslinking and post-crosslinking, and at least one first photoinitiator is added to the polymer dispersion to trigger the crosslinking reaction prior to the pre-crosslinking, wherein at least one second photoinitiator is added to the pre-crosslinked polymer dispersion prior to and/or during the post-crosslinking, and the post-crosslinking includes irradiation with electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet (UV light) and/or visible spectral range.
