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…

UV Curing: The Basics
UV curing is the process by which UV light initiates a photochemical reaction of a UV-curable solution, causing the solution to polymerize.

ARC UV System
What is an ARC UV System? An arc UV system comprises electrodes at each end of a tubular-shaped quartz lamp, commonly filled with a blend of mercury and noble gas. By applying electrical discharge from these electrodes within the tubular lamp, the mercury is stimulated into a plasma state, emitting light across the entire UV…

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…

Understanding Ultraviolet Light
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 Light from the Sun vs Man-made Sunlight contains only…

UV Curing – Is It Right For You?
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…

UV Radiometer
What is a UV Radiometer? A UV radiometer is a critical instrument used to measure the irradiance (W/cm²) and energy density (J/cm²) of UV output, ensuring optimal levels for various processes. Choosing the right UV radiometer can significantly reduce the risk of uncured products, minimize material waste, decrease cleanup time, and lower labor costs, ultimately…

Why Choose Miltec UV?
Manufacturing companies that invest in UV have many decisions to make along the way, whether they are changing a process from conventional drying to UV, or if they are simply upgrading an old UV finishing line with new and more powerful UV equipment. The decision of selecting UV equipment and which UV equipment manufacturer to…
