2025 UV 경화 원리
안녕하세요, 여러분! 저는 스타 직원입니다. 크로메클레어의 브랜드 헤마 프리 젤 광택제 브랜드.Today, I’ll organize some information about UV curing. I hope this helps you. UV adhesive curing occurs when photoinitiators (or photosensitizers) within UV-curable materials absorb ultraviolet light, generating active free radicals or cations. These trigger chemical reactions such as polymerization, cross-linking, and grafting of monomers or oligomers, transforming the liquid into a solid within seconds.
각 자외선 유형에는 고유한 파장 범위가 있으며, 이에 따라 기판에 대한 침투 깊이가 결정됩니다. 사용되는 인쇄물 소재와 원하는 경화 효과에 따라 적절한 자외선을 선택할 수 있습니다:
- UVC는 단파장 자외선(200nm~280nm)으로 250~260nm 범위에서 강력한 출력을 제공하지만 공기를 통한 전파력은 약합니다. 산소가 UVC를 차단할 수 있기 때문에 많은 애플리케이션에서 질소가 제거된 환경을 사용합니다. 주로 표면 경화에 사용되며 표면 경도와 내마모성을 생성합니다(UVC는 코팅에 스크래치 저항성을 부여합니다). 일반적인 용도로는 종이 및 플라스틱 표면의 투명 코팅, 광학 및 자동차 렌즈의 하드 코팅, 소독 및 멸균, DNA 가교, 표면 수정 등이 있습니다.
- UVB는 깊은 침투 경화가 가능한 중파장 자외선(280nm~320nm)으로 코팅 및 접착 인성을 생성합니다. 일반적으로 페인트, 접착제, 잉크 경화, 살균 및 소독에 사용됩니다.
- UVA는 가장 깊은 층을 경화시키고 접착력을 제공하는 데 사용되는 장파 자외선(320nm~395nm)입니다. 일반적으로 잉크, 코팅 및 접착제 경화, UV 검사, UV 형광에 사용됩니다.
- UVV는 가시광선 자외선(395nm-455nm)으로, 가장 깊은 부위를 경화시키는 데 사용되며 이러한 제형의 접착 특성을 담당합니다. UVV는 흰색 및 은색 전도성 안료와 잘 어울립니다. 일반적으로 은 전도성 잉크, 이산화티타늄 안료 코팅, 접착제 및 깊이 침투하는 포팅 화합물 등에 사용됩니다.

In industrial processes, two popular drying/curing methods are thermal drying and UV curing. Both methods transform liquid or semi-liquid materials into solid form through heating or ultraviolet radiation. While both aim to cure substances, significant differences exist between them.
Thermal drying is a process that applies heat to ink or coatings on a substrate to accelerate their curing time. It is commonly used for substances like epoxy resins, powder coatings, and certain types of adhesives. It can also be applied to various coatings such as epoxy, polyester, acrylic, and polyurethane, which can be applied to substrates including metals, plastics, and composites.
Heat is typically supplied via large gas-fired ovens, forced-air dryers, or infrared lamps. The curing temperature and duration depend on the specific material being cured. Drying lines can be extensive, tailored to the target production speed and drying time requirements of the ink or coating.
Additionally, certain coatings may require special formulations to ensure proper drying during thermal curing. For instance, some coatings might need the addition of drying agents or accelerators to enhance drying efficiency or reduce drying time.

In terms of energy consumption and production efficiency, UV curing technology consumes significantly less energy than thermal drying technology. The energy consumption of UV curing is only 10%-20% of that required by thermal curing processes. This substantial energy gap primarily stems from UV curing’s high energy conversion efficiency: UV light sources convert most input energy into usable ultraviolet light, whereas thermal drying inevitably loses substantial thermal energy during heat transfer.
UV curing technology also excels in production efficiency. Its curing speed is exceptionally fast, typically completing the process in just 0.1 to 10 seconds. In contrast, thermal drying technology often requires several minutes or longer to achieve the same curing effect. This substantial time difference directly impacts production efficiency, making UV curing technology particularly suitable for high-speed production lines and batch manufacturing.
UV-cured coatings typically exhibit higher crosslinking density, directly leading to superior mechanical properties and chemical resistance. For instance, UV-cured coatings often demonstrate greater hardness, enhanced impact resistance, and outstanding chemical resistance. These characteristics make UV curing particularly suitable for applications requiring long-term outdoor exposure, such as architectural exterior coatings or protective automotive component coatings.
However, UV curing technology may have limitations in certain specific applications. For instance, when handling thicker coatings, UV curing may encounter uneven curing issues due to the limited penetration capability of UV light. In such cases, thermal drying technology may be more suitable as it better accommodates thicker coatings.
Simultaneously, thermal drying technology is expanding into emerging fields. For example, in new energy material manufacturing, thermal drying can be employed for drying battery electrode materials, ensuring material uniformity and conductivity.

UV LED 및 기존 수은 램프 경화
UV LED와 기존 수은 램프 경화 모두 광개시제를 여기시켜 유체 내에 포함된 단량체와 예비 중합체의 중합 반응을 촉진하기 위해 빛을 조사하는 방식에 의존합니다. 이 과정을 통해 경화된 필름 층이 형성됩니다.
Compared to UV curing, UV-LED technology consumes only one-quarter of the electrical energy, significantly reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Traditional mercury lamps easily exceed radiation levels of 10W/cm², causing excessive heat during surface curing. In contrast, UV-LED radiation energy is controllable and generates minimal heat. This results in reduced thermal impact on heat-sensitive substrates like plastic films, requiring only minor adjustments to printing precision.
UV-LED light source components have a lifespan approximately 12 times longer than traditional UV components, substantially reducing replacement frequency and associated material costs.
UV-LEDs enable instant on/off operation, eliminating the preheating and cooling times required for UV curing, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
UV-LED systems produce no ozone, improving the working environment for employees and eliminating the need for capture and incineration equipment to mitigate ozone hazards.
UV-LED light sources and their associated equipment are highly compact, simplifying setup and saving space. As evident from these advantages, UV-LED curing systems not only significantly reduce costs but also minimize environmental pollution and energy consumption.
However, unlike traditional UV curing that utilizes the entire 200–450 nm ultraviolet spectrum, UV-LED lamps focus on a narrow range within this spectrum, typically 395–405 nm. While some current UV-LED curing systems operate at 365 nm, most still center around 395 nm, which remains the standard wavelength for UV-LED curing.
We hope this article helps you understand UV curing more easily!
