UV-ICure

How does it work

UV iCure uses lamps with specific wavelengths and operates in an inert atmosphere (absence of oxygen). This stimulates the photoinitiators in conventional coatings, providing optimum penetration and uniform curing on every layer. 

The system is completely free of mercury and other heavy metals: not only does it comply with European standards, it also reduces your finishing line’s environmental impact. 

Lamps are typically water-cooled, so no heat is transferred to the substrate and no fans are needed. Plus, operation is immediate: instant on/off, no warm-up time, and no need for mechanical shutters. 

Description

UV iCure is a curing system designed for those who want to replace traditional UV ovens with a mercury-free and heavy-metal-free technology that’s ready for upcoming regulations. It is a forward-thinking solution, already compliant with European directives on the ban of mercury lamps. 

By combining lamps with different wavelengths, UV iCure activates the photoinitiators present in coatings, ensuring excellent results without needing to change the paints you currently use. It optimizes the drying process, guaranteeing safety, compactness, and environmental friendliness. 

Characteristics

• Completely eliminates mercury from the UV curing process. 

• Complies with EU directives banning mercury and other heavy metals in lamps. 

• Compatible with existing paints and coatings — no need to change products. 

• Combines lamps with specific wavelengths. 

• Safe operation in inert atmosphere for optimum photoinitiator activation. 

• Water-cooled lamps: zero heat transfer to the substrate, no fans required. 

• Instant on/off: no warm-up time, no mechanical shutter needed. 

• Compact, accessible, and effective alternative to electron beam technology. 

Advantages

• The most sustainable uv curing oven solution: compliant and ready for the future. 

• Traditional results, greater safety: delivers performance equivalent to legacy systems, with no need to change your current coatings. 

• Instant efficiency: eliminates warm-up, cooldown, and shutter phases — lamps are instantly ready. 

• Zero heat propagation: finish quality is always optimal and the substrate is not exposed to thermal stress. 

• Simple, compact installation: takes up less space and offers a safer, more efficient, and economical solution compared to alternatives such as electron beam.
