Why should I use a UV light radiometer or intensity meter with my UV curing process? Our partners DYMAX have just released a video to answer that very question.
In summary, the reasons are:
- To ensure you have enough dose or UV energy to cure your adhesive bonds properly
- To help you establish and maintain a safe and worker-friendly light curing environment
- By measuring UV transmission through your substrates, assist in establishing a UV light curing process – some substrates transmit UV light better than others
If you are managing a temperature-based process, you would use a thermometer by default; if you are managing a light-based process, you should use a radiometer.
It’s a two minute video, so worth having a look. If you need to discuss any of the points made with our team, and you need to buy a radiometer, get in touch.
