UV LED curing refers to a technique that uses “energy” output from the light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum to treat coatings, adhesives, inks and other UV-curable materials.
Recent advances in materials and equipment are reportedly creating new demand for radiation-curable (radcure) coatings in a number of industrial applications.
The first experiments with electron beams date from as early as 1920 in the U.S., but the first attempts to cure varnishes with electron beam curing (EBC) were only made in 1960.
RadTech recently announced it is seeking abstracts for the 12th biennial RadTech UV & EB Technology Expo and Conference 2014, which will take place May 12-14, 2014.
