UV Light Curing Equipment

Light Curing Processes of UV and UV LED Curing Systems

UC Curing was adopted commercially in the 1960s, UV light curing provides advantages over other drying and curing methods. Using intense ultraviolet (UV) light, compatible inks, adhesives, and coatings react via photopolymerization rather than evaporation. UV LED curing systems offer efficient technologies featuring high speeds, low temperatures, and an essentially solvent-free production method. Through the photochemical reaction, UV light curing systems can achieve near-instantaneous curing, increasing production speeds and reducing rejection rates.
