Many of us don’t like to think about the bacteria that surround us every day, but unfortunately, as bacteria continue to evolve and newly discovered bacteria, as well as growing concerns about antibiotic resistance in known bacteria, we must take New measures to help protect yourself.

Dental UV curing is defined as “a rapid curing process in which high-intensity UV light is used to create a photochemical reaction that instantly cures inks, adhesives, coatings, and other materials.”

This technology has gained momentum in manufacturing in recent years, and it’s easy to see why. UV curing offers a range of advantages and is considered a smart solution for OEMs.

Incorporating UV curing technology into a manufacturer's production process can bring significant advantages, including cost efficiencies, improved quality, improved safety and increased throughput.

One of the biggest draws of UV curing technology is its rapid cure speed. This advantage is particularly important as it has a positive knock-on effect on production. Manufacturers will see reduced labor costs, which means fewer assembly stations will be needed. Additionally, shorter cycle times and reduced work-in-progress will shorten lead times for customers.

Another significant advantage of UV curing technology is its simplicity. No racks or ovens are required, and UV curing dispensing equipment tends to be less expensive than the equipment required for thermal curing processes. Additionally, because UV-curable materials are single-component, there is no mixing required and pot-life issues are avoided, resulting in less waste.

There are a variety of dental curing lights to choose from, so you can choose one based on your needs!
