Innovative Application Methods for UV Coatings

8 May 2025

Speaker: Christian Höhme, Head of Operational R&D, ELANTAS Europe

This presentation explores an innovative method for applying UV protective coatings using digital printing, contrasting it with the traditional spraying technique. Digital printing offers precise, controlled application, reducing especially material waste originating from overspray and enabling further advantages like spot repair. Unlike spraying, which often results in overspray, digital printing ensures uniform coverage and exact placement. By this innovative application method, housings, cells, and other geometries can be coated with UV protective coatings to ensure dielectric protection, protection against environmental and mechanical stresses.

Christian Höhme

Head of Operational R&D

I studied chemical engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Lübeck, receiving the degree Dipl-Ing (FH). After that, I started my PhD thesis at the Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute for Polymer Research, and graduated in 2019 with a thesis on the formation of isoporous polymer membranes from block copolymers. Directly after that, I joined ELANTAS Europe GmbH as “Project Manager Strategic Projects,” working on the development of innovative, electrical insulating products and disruptive application technologies. Since mid-2024, I am Head of Operational R&D at ELANTAS Europe GmbH.
