Curing Plastics With IR
Infrared heat is a popular and effective method of curing plastics. For example, A carpet manufacturer has to -- as part of its process -- cure the latex on the backs of carpets. The latex coating binds the woven fibers, preventing tuft loss. Previously, they used a steam-heated drum to cure the latex. A new modular infrared system from Heraeus Noblelight provided a staggering 96% reduction in heat-up time, a 50% reduction in required workspace, and lower operating costs.This is only one of many real-world examples of IR for plastics curing. Infrared heat is an effective and efficient means of applying process heat in many other applications. Explore this site for application solutions employing infrared technology. Heraeus offers complete systems using infrared technology; we can design a system to meet your specific, unique and demanding needs.
