UV Curing System
A UV curing system emits UV light to activate photoinitiators in the coating or ink. These photoinitiators generate free radicals that start a chain reaction, causing the material to cure or harden. Advantages of a UV Curing System The primary advantages of curing with UV light are significantly faster cure speeds compared to other comparable…

Maintain your UV Reflector
The reflector, a crucial component of UV systems, is responsible for 65%-70% of the total UV energy output. However, its coatings may deteriorate over time, resulting in a noticeable decrease in energy output. We often receive questions about when to replace the reflector. To assist you, we’ve outlined two inspections to evaluate the condition of…
