In this paper, using the example of unsaturated oligomeric esters, the effect of UV radiation of various domestic sources on the rate of curing of coatings is investigated. For the investigations a 60% styrene solution of PN-15 grade unsaturated oligomeric ester based on an equimolar ratio of maleic anhydride and oxypropylated diphenylenepropene was used. Isobutyl ether of benzoin served as the photoinitiator. The following lamps were used as radiation sources: electrodeless high-frequency lamps of continuous action with additions of mercury, cadmium, and phosphorus; a DRKS-500 mercury-xenon-arc lamp; and a DRT-1000 tubular mercury-arc lamp. When choosing UV sources to increase the efficiency of photochemical decay of the initiator and the rate of curing of the coating it is necessary first of all to be guided by the distribution of the spectral energy of the lamp radiation and the UV absorption spectrum of the photoinitiator.
