Abstract
An acrylate encapsulation formulation reacts at a high rate of speed, when exposed to radiation inclusive of wavelengths in the ultraviolet and the visible range, to initially produce a relatively thick skin and to ultimately cure to a relatively low-stress deposit having good physical definition and surface properties. The method entails exposure of the formulation, on an object, to radiation for initialing photopolymerization and thermal polymerization, and the apparatus includes closely juxtaposed actinic radiation and thermal energy sources.
