  2. What is a UV LED Lamp?

    What is a UV LED Lamp?

    A UV LED (ultraviolet light emitting diode) is an electronic light source with electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than x-rays. UV LED lamps can be used for drying inks, coatings, adhesives and other UV sensitive materials through polymerization instead of evaporation.

    We work with several different UV LED vendors and can accommodate most UV LED requirements.

  5. UV Lamps in the 3-D Printing Industry

    Leave a Comment

    Did you know that UV is used in the 3-D printing process? Stereolithography is a process of 3-D printing that replicates a computer designed template into a solid 3-D object using UV-curing technology.

    “The stereolithography process first requires a 3-D computer image (typically a CAD file) which is then converted into a “sliced up” version with very thin layers. Inside the stereolithography machine, a solid-state 355 nm laser will draw the layers of the file onto a platform, which is suspended within a vat of UV-curable resin. Anywhere the UV laser beam irradiates, photons activate the photoinitiators and immediately cure the UV resin into a solid polymer state. The platform on which the polymer layer cures then lowers slightly and the UV-curable resin flows onto the top of the solid polymer layer. The laser then repeats the drawing process, building the object layer-by-layer until the final part is complete.”
    The rapid-prototyping capability combined with precise dimensional accuracy enabled by using UV curing offers many advantages for a wide variety of applications. Practically any 3-D shape can be created and items include clothing, automobile parts, furniture, medical devices, and toys. Click here for more information!

  7. UV Lamps in the Commercial Printing Industry

    Leave a Comment

    Did you know that UV curable inks and coatings are used by many commercial printers? As opposed to solvent-based inks, UV inks are more environmentally friendly because they are VOC free. UV inks are also more durable because once they are cured with UV light, they are resistant to scratching, smudging, scuffing, and rubbing. Some other benefits include ability to print on a wider range of substrates, high levels of gloss, vivid color and detail, and quicker production due to instant cure. The possibilities of UV ink printing are endless! To read more about commercial printing, click here.
