Characterizing the Efficiency of UV LED Curing

This paper examines the effects of some key operating parameters of UV sources on the curing of various UV inks, coatings and adhesives. The effects of peak UV wavelength and peak intensity are quantitatively evaluated using FT-IR. The data are helpful in guiding both formulators, raw material suppliers and end users to better understand the impact of the UV sources, especially UV LED sources, ...

UV-LED Curing Efficiency of Wood Coatings

Ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have attracted great interest in recent years. They can be used to polymerize coatings, such as those used for prefinished wood flooring. In this project, two lamps were compared for their suitability to be used on a wood flooring finishing line: a UV-microwave and a UV-LED lamp. Low heat emission was found for the UV-LED lamp compared to the UV-micro...

Curing Efficacy of Light Emitting Diodes of Dental Curing Units

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) and light emitting diode (LED) curing lights on polymerization of resin composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS A hybrid resin composite was used to prepare samples which were cured using two QTH and ten LED light curing sources. Twelve groups, each containing ten samples, were prepared usin...
