Mercury vapor, light-emitting diode (LED), and excimer are distinct UV-curing lamp technologies. All three are used in various photopolymerization processes, but understanding the differences between them is instrumental in application and formulation development, UV-curing source selection, and integration.
IGM Resins has moved its offices, laboratory and technical team in Italy to 600 square meters of new space in the Gerenzano Insubrias Biopark near Milan.
Manufacturing managers and process engineers should evaluate UV curing as a way to reduce floor space, energy costs and environmental emissions while increasing production rates.
