What is UV Curing Resin?

Posted on by

UV curing resins are materials that are polymerized and cured in a short time by the energy radiated from ultraviolet irradiation devices. These are especially used as industrial materials for sealing, bonding, and coating.

 

Excellent Characteristics of UV Curing Resins:

  • Because the curing speed is fast, working hour is shortened.
  • Because they do not cure without UV irradiation, restrictions are few in the coating process.
  • They can cure at a low temperature.
  • Because of nonsolvent, one-part resin, they provide good workability.
  • A variety of cured features is available.

 

Because the products provide these advantages, cost reduction can be achieved in various fields.

 

Ultraviolet Irradiation Devices

  • Conveyor Type: Suitable for mass production of mid- and large-scale workpieces.
  • Spot Type: For bonding and partial temporary fixing of compact parts.
  • Handy Type: Built-in type in the production line.
  • Unit Type: For partial irradiation to experimental or large-scale workpieces.

 

Points To Select A Lamp Or A Lamphouse

  • Appropriate wavelength of the lamp Short wavelength is effective for surface curing and long wavelength for depth curing.
  • Enough emission intensity Select them considering the attenuation of the light intensity due to a long use of the lamp.

 

Please note especially above two points to choose the lamp and the lamphouse for a UV-radiation system.

 

Conclusions

As the UV curable resin is single-component and non-solvent, it does not contaminate the work environment with any solvent. This adhesive is cured within seconds. Its excellence in mass production significantly helps reduce the production processes.
