UV Curing

Ultraviolet light as Energy Source for industrial processing of inks, coatings and adhesives

Curing with Ultraviolet light is a process of transforming a liquid into a solid by means of energy from an ultraviolet light source.

The UV energy causes a polymerization process in the liquid which results in a very fast process without applying heat and without evaporation of solvents. A great improvement for the operators and for the environment.
The liquid can be ink, coating and adhesives.
Applications can be found in (inkjet)printing from small labelprinters to large format printers for professional graphic applications, but also in treatment of wood, metal, glass, plastic.

For optimum curing results combined with lowest energy cost a proper control of the applied ultraviolet lamp(s) by means of a lamp driver is required.
