TRADITIONALLY, OVENS USED IN CURING OR DRYING COATINGS HAVE FALLEN INTO ONE OF TWO CATEGORIES: RADIANT OR CONVECTION. HOWEVER, AS DEVELOPMENTS IN PRODUCTS, COATINGS, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES HAVE PROGRESSED, THE LIMITS OF EACH CURING TECHNOLOGY HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY APPARENT. THE USE OF COMBINED RADIANT/CONVECTION OVENS PROMISES TO HELP EXPAND THE USE OF THERMALLY CURED COATINGS BY ADDRESSING THE LIMITATIONS OF EACH TECHNOLOGY SEPARATELY APPLIED. THIS PAPER PRESENTS BOTH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF RADIANT, CONVECTION, AND COMBINED RADIANT/ CONVECTION OVENS.
