Key Takeaways UV lamps require longer curing times and frequent bulb changes. In comparison, LED lamps are faster-curing and ...

The use of UV curing materials for the application or processing of inks, paints, coatings, adhesives, etc. is critically important in many industrial segments. This technology has a combination of ...

And just like that, it’s dry. In mere milliseconds, UV ink, when exposed to intense UV light, transforms from a liquid to a solid state. With this reality comes opportunity for those using sheetfed ...

Polymatech Electronics, a producer of advanced opto-semiconductor solutions, today announced the U.S. introduction of its high-power UVA LED platform engineered for ultra-fast industrial curing. The ...

As a technology, LED-UV curing for offset printing is slowly, incrementally gaining favor as a method for curing — using intense UV light of a specific wavelength. As one choice among others, it is a ...

The electronics industry faces skyrocketing demand for both efficiency and device quality. Meeting these requirements can be challenging, but embracing advanced, less conventional workflows makes it ...

Whenever there is a need for curing and drying of coatings, inks and adhesives, UV curing is used. This use of UVs has eliminated the need for ratio mixing, solvent removal and potential life concern ...

Ultraviolet-curable resins were introduced in the 1960s. But their use in composites was eventually abandoned in favor of heat-curing materials because of the latter’s ability to form thick-walled ...

UV polymers are used in 3D printing, toys, and pens, but now the materials has made its way into our hearts—literally. Photopolymers are well known in 3D printing. But how do they work and how did ...

Organic adhesives usually contain solvents and various diluents or are composed of two components which must be carefully weighed and mixed prior to use. After these adhesives are applied, it takes ...
