Intertronics - LED spot-curing system and compatible adhesives

The BlueWave LED Prime UVA generates curing energy using high-intensity LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and is believed to produce the highest power of any LED spot-curing lamp on the market today. This system delivers maximum curing energy output through a 5mm diameter lightguide, with an adjustable output up to >15 W/cm2. The relatively narrow frequency band produced by LEDs generates cooler curing temperatures for temperature-sensitive substrates and results in reduced power consumption. All of these features make the BlueWave LED Prime UVA the ideal curing system for manufacturers looking to embrace quality and throughput while complementing other “green” initiatives.

Specially formulated LED-curable adhesives have been developed for use with the new BlueWave LED Prime UVA. These adhesives range from ultra-fast (less than 2 seconds) to fast cure to accommodate industrial and medical device bonding, potting and coating assembly needs. They bond in seconds to a wide variety of substrates including glass, metal, ABS, PC, PVC and many others.
