Ultraviolet (UV) curing is a process in which ultraviolet light is used to quickly cure or dry inks, coatings, and adhesives. UV curing is a photochemical process in which energy from the UV light source causes a chemical reaction to take place in the material being cured. This process creates a strong, durable bond in a fraction of the time that it would take with traditional drying methods, making it an ideal solution for many industrial applications.
