UV Light Curing of Adhesives & Resins for Rapid Bonding
We offer a wide range of UV lamps and equipment for curing UV adhesives and resins, from UV hand lamps to fully automated production line systems.
The choice of UV light equipment for your particular application depends upon the following criteria:- UV light irradiation area; UV light wavelength range; UV light intensity; Process integration and Temperature sensitivity.
UV curable adhesives and resins offer many benefits. They are single part and cure on demand to a high strength almost instantaneously on exposure to UV light. It is essential to optimise this process by closely matching the emission stectrum and intensity of UV light source to the chemistry of the adhesive. These UV materials are environmentally compatible and the processes requires very little space and energy.
UV adhesives do not dissolve, melt or weaken the bonded items and form a strong chemical bond providing a high strength alternative to other joining methods.
UV adhesives are excellent for glass to glass, glass to metal and plastic bonding applications.
UV light curing adhesives offer unrivalled and unique process advantages in times of stringent legislation changes restricting the use of many solvents and rapidly escalating energy prices.
UV light curing adhesives offer not only processing and environmentally friendly benefits, but also the capability to provide innovative new processes and product developments.
This cutting edge technology can often provide companies with the ability to exploit new business opportunities.

Summary of Benefits
- Rapid curing times - in some cases almost instantaneous, allowing immediate further processing
- On demand cure - only cures on exposure to UV light which allows accurate alignment of components before bonding
- Appearance - provides quality aesthetics, i.e. optically clear joints
- No solvents or VOCs, 100% solids - no environmental pollution due to solvent evaporation and non-flammable
- Single component, ready to use systems - no mixing, no waste, no disposal of waste, no cleaning of mixing containers, no problems with pot life of mixed materials
- Saving of raw materials and energy - no wasted solvent or energy required to produce evaporation of solvent. UV lamps are more efficient than thermal ovens
- No heat required - thus low thermal stressing of substrate materials
- Minimal space requirements and capital expenditure
- Readily adapted in to existing production facilities
- Automatic despensing and curing can be employed to improve production efficiency
