Ultraviolet light (UV) is a type of radiant energy that appears on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum between visible light and x-rays. It has a shorter wavelength than visible light but higher energy (or frequency). The EM spectrum has seven regions based on wavelength and frequency/energy. UV from the Sun vs Man-made Sunlight contains only about…

UV light curing works by activating the photopolymerization to harden dyes, inks, and adhesives onto a surface with a specific wavelength of UV light. With UV light curing systems, you must use an appropriate light source and ink or adhesive to get the best results. Let’s take a look at the history, technology, and the…

When curing with UV, maintaining consistent and accurate results may be a bit challenging without the use of an instrument called a UV radiometer. Each UV process, whether microwave, arc, or LED, requires a specific output from the UV source to provide an adequate cure of the chemistry being used. The best way to verify…
