Discover what’s possible in our UV curing laboratory.

Join forces with our PhD chemists, engineers, and specialists in our UV curing laboratory to test novel methods to lower costs and improve processes.

We are experts in identifying and solving UV Curing issues and problems. With our UV curing laboratory, we can simulate almost any UV curing system and are equipped with the capabilities and tools to mimic your production line for addressing UV curing issues and developing new processes.

Our dedicated applications lab is fully equipped and open to customers and formulators, where you can develop and test solutions for:

• Wood and vinyl gloss control- The gloss control configuration is a 3 x 23” HPI system using our EGR technology for controlling gloss when curing UV curable coatings on wood and vinyl. Speeds range from 20 to 400 FPM. Part clearance is 2.5” and the belt width is 20.5”. Flex IR conveyor, Ovens and Roll Coater available for use
• Metal coating and decorating- The dense ink configuration is a 3 x 23” HPI system using our VCHD technology. Speeds range from 20 to 400 FPM. Part clearance is 2.5” and the belt width is 20.5”. Little Joe and Orange Proofer available for use.
• 3D applications- The 3D testing configuration is a 2 x 23” HPI system set up in a compound angle arrangement which will cure the leading edge, trailing edge, sides, and top of panels.
• UV chemistries- This arrangement can be used to test MPI-400 microwave UV testing, HPI arc UV testing, or a combination of both. Speeds range from 10-900 FPM. Part clearance is 17” x 19.5 ”x 6.5” (L x H x W). Nitrogen inerted chamber testing available.
