Electron Beam Curing Properties of Waterborne Monomer and Polymer Materials
By Stephen C. Lapin and Kathryn E. Classon, PCT Engineered Systems, a division of ebeam Technologies, Comet Group Abstract The electron beam (EB) curing properties of acrylate functional monomer/water solutions and polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) in water were characterized. Many of the materials showed good curing properties by EB alone without prior thermal drying. … [Read more...] about Electron Beam Curing Properties of Waterborne Monomer and Polymer Materials
Molded UV Glass Optics Can Improve UV LED Irradiance Uniformity for Curing Applications
By Brian Jasenak, Adam Willsey, James Forish, Kopp Glass The industrial curing market is rapidly evolving with the introduction of ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV LEDs). They offer many benefits in certain applications compared to mercury vapor and other similar UV light sources, including lower maintenance costs, greater reliability, low heat, increased power control … [Read more...] about Molded UV Glass Optics Can Improve UV LED Irradiance Uniformity for Curing Applications
UV Curing Technology Q&A
By R.W. Stowe, director of applications engineering, Heraeus Noblelight America LLC The variety of UV radiometers available today makes it difficult to determine which kind of instrument to select to measure a UV process. ItÂ’s even more difficult to identify exactly what to measure. Ideally, if we had a measurement that would determine when a UV curing process is about to … [Read more...] about UV Curing Technology Q&A
