| 20160090648 | UV IRRADIATION APPARATUS WITH AN ADDITIONAL MONOCHROMATIC RADIATION SOURCE - A component, the surface of which is at least partially covered with a coating, wherein the coating comprises a PVD coating arranged between a first paint layer and a second paint layer and the first paint layer forms a base coat layer on the surface and the second paint layer forms a top coat layer having a top coat thickness on the PVD coating, wherein at least the top coat layer was produced with UV-curable paint. Proceeding from the interface of the PVD coating in a region smaller than the top coat thickness, the top coat layer has a lower degree of cross-linking induced by UV light than in the part of the top coat layer connected to said region. The invention relates in particular to a method for producing such a component. | 03-31-2016 |
