While the LED light curing system is a newer process, it has become more common because of the multitude of benefits that it offers. This process provides a more effective curing method for a variety of applications, while also offering advantages for the environment.
DoctorUV provides extensive UV curing experience, product knowledge, and technical expertise. Our products integrate the latest semiconductor technology, optics, thermal, electronic, and mechanical components available. Built with only the highest quality materials, our LED UV curing devices are viable alternatives to older technologies. UV LED curing uses light-emitting diodes which convert electrical current into light. When the electrical current flows through an LED, it gives off ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet light causes chemical reactions in the molecules within the liquid, forming chains of polymers until the liquid becomes a solid. This process is a new technology that was designed to provide solutions to many of the issues found in traditional UV curing and heat-set drying.In the past, the UV curing process used mercury arc lamps. These lamps would create the ultraviolet light that would change liquid inks, adhesives, and coatings into a solid. This type of UV curing process is still used in some industries such as packaging, but it can negatively affect the environment. Because of this and other reasons, many industries are making the switch to newer LED UV curing. Traditional mercury arc lamps have proved several disadvantages in recent years, particularly for the environment. They produce ozone and need exhaust systems to help prevent contaminated air. These UV curing systems also require a lot of energy to operate, and they create a lot of heat. As previously stated, they also involve the use of mercury which has a long-term, environmental impact.
