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…
