Ultraviolet (UV) technology is used
across a multitude of commercial and industrial applications to instantly cure
polymers in seconds. UV radiation causes a photochemical reaction on polymers such as polyurethane,
epoxies, and silicone glue by instantly curing, drying, sealing or bonding
within seconds of exposure to UV light.
UV curing has several advantages over
other treatment methods such as chemicals or air drying. Due to the speed in
which ultraviolet light cures polymers, there is no time for the evaporation of
inks and coatings. UV curing provides a more consistent process resulting in a
higher quality product over drying methods.
UV methods for curing polymers offers many advantages over the use of
chemical drying agents as well. UV curing quickly seals polymers without the use
of harmful chemicals, providing a safer workplace for employees and eliminating
the need to store or dispose of chemicals.
UV curing provides a consistent process,
resulting in enhanced product strength and durability for higher quality
product, without contamination from particles in the air or the use of
chemicals.
