UV LED Curing for Printed Electronics
UV LED curing technology is a great fit for applications such as inkjet-printed electronics, screen-printed electronics, conformal (electronics) coatings, and electronic assembly adhesives. UV LED offers significant advantages over traditional UV curing for printed electronics, including less space, maintenance and downtime which translates into higher productivity rates, less scrap and higher quality end products at lower costs. The use of traditional UV lamps to cure coatings on heat-sensitive substrates such as PCBs and flexible plastics can result in deformation. UV LEDs produce significantly less heat, enabling coating of heat-sensitive substrates. Due to narrow, high UVA wavelength, UV LEDs produce significantly less heat. This high UVA wavelength also allows for a more penetrative cure which is an advantage when faced with thicker sections.
