Ultraviolet curing (commonly known as UV curing) is a photochemical process in which high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to instantly cure or “dry” inks, coatings or adhesives. Offering many advantages over traditional drying methods, UV curing has been shown to increase production speed, reduce reject rates, improve scratch and solvent resistance, and facilitate superior bonding.
UV Curing was originally introduced in the 1960's, UV curing has been used in many industries including automotive, telecommunications, electronics, graphic arts, converting and metal, glass and plastic decorating. UV curing is a multi-billion dollar worldwide industry, and now constitutes approximately 4% of the industrial coatings market. UV curing has grown more than 10% per year, displacing conventional water and solvent-based thermal drying processes due to its increased productivity, improvement of product quality and performance, and environmentally friendly characteristics.
Think of how this could help you. How it could cut your working time in half, bring up your productivity reduce your cost, cut the amount of waste you have in unused product. There is no solvent to evaporate, no environmental pollutants, no loss of coating thickness, and no loss of volume. This is how you end up with higher productivity in less time.
