Ultraviolet polymerization is a chemical process that uses the energy of ultraviolet radiation to catalyze the curing reaction of a monomer, thus forming a polymer.
This method is used in the coatings, adhesives, inks and other materials industry where rapid curing of the product is required.
Ultraviolet radiation activates the polymerisation initiators present in the formulation; thus initiating the curing reaction and creating bonds between the monomers to form a three-dimensional network. This process is fast, efficient and produces polymers with improved properties compared to other polymerization methods.
At UVINFRA we manufacture ultraviolet curing and polymerisation systems adapted to each production line or installation.
Fields of application:
- Curing equipment for use in the graphic arts, chemical industry, etc.
- SAS chambers and UV tunnels for curing volumetric parts in continuous or static processes.
- Exposure machines and vacuum frames for reprography.
