What Materials Can Be Cured with UV LED?
In the multifaceted world of advanced manufacturing, 3D printing, electronics, and industrial coatings, what materials can be cured with UV LED poses a challenge. Curing technology for UV LED has become a hot topic, and for good reason: it is faster, energy-efficient, generates low heat, and provides a cleaner work environment. However, what materials can undergo this light-curing technique? In this article, we will discuss UV LED curable materials, their chemical properties, application areas, and details about expanding technology devices around the world. Features of UV LED Curing: What is it? UV LED curing, as the name implies, is the curing of a material using Ultraviolet (UV) light. This light is derived from light-emitting Diodes (LEDs) and causes a certain photochemical reaction. In our context, photochemical reaction is the transformation of liquid materials such as resins, adhesives, coatings, and inks into solid forms. This is achievable due to special compounds known as photoinitiators, which absorb UV light and induce polymerisation and cross-linking.
