Factors Affecting UV Curing
• All UV sources degrade with use. Check output with a radiometer.
• Thicker films require longer cures.
• Light intensity decreases as distance from UV source increases.
• Some clear plastics may contain UV inhibitors
Precautions When Using UV Lamps
• Never look directly at UV source.
• Wear protective UV goggles
• Use in a well-ventilated area. Some UV sources generate ozone. Provide shielding around high intensity UV sources.
• High intensity UV sources generate heat. Take appropriate precautions.
Typical Curing Performance
Blank Ammunition Sealant 48641 will cure rapidly at room temperature when exposed to high intensity ultraviolet light (365 nm). UV light intensities above 100 mW/cm² will insure optimum surface cure.
