Speed of UV Curing

The speed of cure during the UV cured powder coating process is one of the most significant benefits of this technology.

Excessive time and heat in a cure oven can melt or deform temperature sensitive substrates such as wood, composite, or plastic, and will often destroy internal components in products. Since UV curing is instantaneous, it eliminates the need to cure the powder in the oven, which can be as long as 30 minutes. Eliminating a lengthy cure oven also speeds up the total process time for finishing parts.

UV vs Thermal Powder Coating

The speed of cure during the UV cured powder coating process is one of the most significant benefits of this technology.

The Fundamental Difference

  • Powder manufactured on the same equipment and applied the same way
  • Key difference is the separation of melt and cure stage
  • Result is a durable coating in LESS time with LESS heat

“What used to take us 4 days with liquid paint now takes us 4 hours with UV cured powder coating!”
