UV curing is adaptable to printing, coating, decorating, stereolithography, and in the assembly of a variety of products and materials. UV curing is a low-temperature, high speed, and solventless process as curing occurs via polymerization. [2] Originally introduced in the 1960s, this technology has streamlined and increased automation in many ...
The next type of curing light developed was the quartz-halogen bulb; [4] this device had longer wavelengths of the visible light spectrum and allowed for greater penetration of the curing light and light energy for resin composites. [3] The halogen curing light replaced the UV curing light. The 1990s presented great improvements in light curing ...
The main advantages of excimer lamps over other sources of UV and VUV radiation are as follows: high average specific power of UV radiation (up to 1 Watt per cubic centimeter of active medium); high energy of an emitted photon (from 3.5 to 11.5 eV); quasimonochromatic radiation with the spectral full-width at half maximum from 2 to 15 nm;
UV LED Nail Lamp. Featuring a near-perfect rating on Amazon and over 49,000 customer reviews, this best-selling nail lamp uses a built-in sensor and adjustable timer to cut down on drying time.
In 1967 and 1968, John Anderson [4] of General Electric [5] [6] applied for patents for electrodeless lamps. In 1971, Fusion UV Systems installed a 300-watt electrodeless microwave plasma UV lamp on a Coors can production line. [7] [8] Philips introduced their QL induction lighting systems, operating at 2.65 MHz, in 1990 in Europe and in 1992 ...
The first commercial plasma lamp was an ultraviolet curing lamp with a bulb filled with argon and mercury vapor developed by Fusion UV. That lamp led Fusion Lighting to the development of the sulfur lamp, a bulb filled with argon and sulfur that is bombarded with microwaves through a hollow waveguide. The bulb had to be spun rapidly to prevent ...
A photopolymer or light-activated resin is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light, often in the ultraviolet or visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. [1] These changes are often manifested structurally, for example hardening of the material occurs as a result of cross-linking when exposed to light.
A low-pressure mercury-vapor discharge tube floods the inside of a biosafety cabinet with shortwave UV light when not in use, killing microbes on irradiated surfaces. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection technique employing ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly UV-C (180–280 nm), to kill or inactivate microorganisms ...
