Cool new LED light cure saves time, extends life
Truly cool in all senses of the word, what could be “cooler” than a visible light adhesive curing system that addresses the major disadvantages of traditional light systems? The new Bluewave™ LED system from Intertronics has no bulbs to degrade or need changing, cures without adding heat and offers constant light intensity for thousands of hours without re-calibration. This makes it ideal for visible light spot curing of coatings as well as adhesive bonding of polycarbonate, PVC, PET, metal, glass and many other substrates.
The Bluewave™ LED (from sales partner DYMAX) generates light using an array of surface mount LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) instead of traditional metal halide or mercury bulbs. The LEDs produce visible light energy in a relatively narrow wavelength band centered at 410nm, as contrasted to a typical broad band, high-pressure UV bulb (300-500nm). This system emits a maximum visible light intensity output of over 2,500mW/cm2 from an 8mm diameter lightguide, and allows users to adjust intensity output from 0% to 100%. The relatively narrow band produced by LEDs generates cooler curing temperatures. Further information regarding Intertronics’ products can be found at www.intertronics.co.uk.
