The handbook provides a quick introduction to the many applications of infrared heating in industrial processes. Infrared heat processing first was developed in the 1930s for curing paint on automobile bodies. Since then, infrared has been used in hundreds of different applications, such as curing metal finishes and protective coatings, fusing thermoset and thermoplastic powder coatings, forming molded plastics, bonding adhesives and metals, processing foods, and drying papers, inks and fabrics
