UV Curing Lamp

A functioning UV Curing Lamp is as important as the reflector design and mechanism in a UV process. These lamps are also known by the name Mercury Arc Lamps, and are used for combining cure efficiency with design versatility and moderate cost. Working: • High voltage is applied to the lamp across the electrode terminals for creating a voltage field. • This field ionizes the argon and produces heat to vaporize the mercury. • This leads to the development of pressure of about two atmospheres that are required to create and maintain a balance between the required high intensity. • The spectral output essentially in the UV region is maintained throughout. • The mercury vapor arc exhibits the unique property of high emission of light in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
