The same models behind our published spreadsheets — energy, coating cost, and VOC emissions — now interactive. Enter your plant's numbers and see the comparison instantly.
Per-lamp figures include energy plus microwave consumables (bulb every 8,000 hrs, reflector every 16,000 hrs, 1 hr labor per change). LED assumes a 40,000-hr source. Estimates only.
Model: one gallon covers 1,604 sq ft per mil at 100% solids, scaled by each coating's solids content — solvent and water carriers evaporate; 100%-solids UV stays on the part. Annual figures use your production volume at the specified film build. Material cost only; energy, floor space, and VOC compliance savings come on top.
UV coatings are 100% solids and emit no VOCs in cure. Eliminating VOCs also reduces permit reporting, HAP exposure, and abatement equipment requirements. Default VOC contents are typical values — check your coatings' data sheets for exact figures.
Note: Allied manufactures coatings — we do not coat parts. Need parts coated? Ask us for an applicator referral.
