UV Ultraviolet Curing
UV-LED curing refers to a technique that is used in various industries, which utilizes LED energy output to cure inks, adhesives and many other curable coatings.
The energy generated by the UV light triggers a chain reaction resulting in polymerization of the material, thus hardening or curing of the material.
Traditionally, mercury-based UV lamps have been utilized for curing, but now more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly LED-based UVA technology has proven a superior solution for many applications. UVA-LED curing technology uses semiconductor-based LEDs to project the UVA light when an electric current is passed through them.
The color of the light emitted or corresponding energy of the photon is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor material. A number of companies that make LEDs used for general illumination also make UVA-LEDs that radiate in the UV spectrum.
Advancements in UV-LED curing
It is widely accepted in many industries that LED lamps provide many advantages including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller form factor, and faster on/off switching. These advantages are also important in curing applications.
There are many benefits driving companies to move toward acceptance of UVA-LED technology such as higher productivity and a more environmentally-friendly solution, which more customers are demanding.
