DEFINITION

Classification: 427/553

Low energy electromagnetic radiation (e.g., microwave, radio wave, IR, UV, visible, actinic, laser, etc.):

(under subclass 532) Processes wherein the substrate prior to coating or the coated substrate is treated with low energy electromagnetic radiation.

(1) Note. The term "low energy electromagnetic radiation" as employed here and indented subclasses includes, e.g., ultraviolet, infrared, visible light, actinic, microwave, and radio waves. Electromagnetic wave energy measured above wavelengths of 100 Angstroms(10 to the minus 8 meters) will be considered low energy electromagnetic radiation. a. ultraviolet (101 ---4000 A); b. actinic light includes both UV & visible; c. visible (4000 A --7000 A); d. infrared (above 7000 A); e. microwave (1mm ---1m (includes 2.45 GHz)); f. radio wave 13.56 MHz is permitted frequency; g. laser. This list is not intended to be exhaustive and is not limited to the above examples.
