Q
does epoxy harden quicker under uv light
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Epoxy typically hardens through a chemical reaction between its two components: the resin and the hardener. This process is generally independent of light. However, certain specially formulated epoxies, known as UV-curable epoxies, are designed to harden quickly under UV light. This is due to photoinitiators in the epoxy formulation that activate with UV light, triggering the curing process. Standard epoxies will not cure faster under UV light and rely on their mix ratio and temperature to set. Using UV light to cure epoxy is mainly beneficial in specific applications requiring rapid curing times, such as in electronics, coatings, and adhesives in industrial settings. To effectively use UV-curable epoxy, ensuring exposure to the correct type and intensity of UV light is crucial for achieving optimal results.
