Patent GB-2053028-A (GB)
Title: Polishing method of a support
IPC: B05D3/06
Filed: 1980-01-22
Abstract: The method of polishing a support (1) consists in placing between the latter and a shiny polished surface of a polymeric film (3) pervious to a radiation ionising a layer (2) of an ink or varnish which is polymerised by this radiation. The polymerisation is carried out by the exposure of the aggregate to an ionising radiation issuing from a source of radiation (7) whilst passing through a calender (8, 9). The polymeric film is delivered from a reel (5) and rewound on another reel after its passage through the calender. The polishing of varnised or printed support is thus achieved continously.
