UV curing is one of the most common types of light curing due to its high energy and therefore instantaneous curing effect at a costas íseal agus riosca. Tá luasanna leigheas tipiciúil 1 go 30 soicind tipiciúil le haghaidh leigheasanna dromchla, le solas déine níos airde as a dtiocfaidh leigheasanna níos tapúla. Is féidir le roisíní curaithe UV ró-nochtadh a fhulaingt ó 100 faoin gcéad go 500 faoin gcéad gan aon díghrádú. I measc dhá bhealach simplí chun an déine solais a mhéadú tá an bhearna idir an solas agus an tsubstráit a laghdú, agus lampa UV eile a chur ar an líne táirgeachta.
The rapid curing speed of UV light leads to shorter cycle times, improved lead times for customers, and reduced labour costs for the manufacturer. UV curing is also relatively easy to manage, only requiring simple UV-curing dispensing equipment, and no racks or ovens – in contrast to heat curing. Since most UV curing material are also single component, there is no need for mixing, therefore bypassing the potential issues that come with it. Finally, UV curing technology is environmentally friendly due to the lack of harmful chemicals involved in its process; this produces less chemical waste and reduces the regulatory and disposal costs for the manufacturer. High intensity UV light, however, is regarded as ionizing radiation which can cause harm to the skin and bodily functions; therefore, sufficient care must be taken when handling UV equipment.
