UV Adhesive Curing Used in Many Industrial Processes




Ultraviolet light has several benefits in manufacturing processes as a catalyst for polymer and adhesive curing.  UV radiation is used in various effective wavelengths between 10 and 400 nanometers, producing UVA, UVB, or UVC radiation.  UV radiation is useful by causing a reaction in polymers to alter the structure causing an instant hardened and strengthen surface, instantly drying ink and varnishes and bonding glues and fillers.

This is useful in several product manufacturing processes and assemblies of items where strength and durability are critical such as military, defense and avionics, to name just a few.  If you are searching for a better solution for your critical assembled product, consider UV adhesive curing for a tight seal, with long-lasting durability.

Some examples of processes that benefit from UV adhesive curing are as follows:

·         Aerospace
o   UV radiation supplies clear optical clarity combined with strength and durability in extreme temperature conditions

·         Government and Military
o   Critical components require long lasting strength and durability with dependability in extreme conditions

·         Medical and Dental Devices
o   UV radiation sterilizes medical devices and components such as syringes

·         Electronics
o   Protective films and fillers used in various electrical components
o   Can permanently bond and seal glue and fillers with glass, plastic or metal products.

·         Fiber Optics
o   UV radiation provides an air-tight seal protecting fiber optic cables with glass tubing
o   Tight seals promotes maximum LED or LCD lighting

·         Ink-Jet Printing
o   UV curing instantly dries inks in various printing processes drying inks on paper, cardstock and other materials

·         Labeling on Products
o   Enhances company logos with vibrant finishes on various products.
