UV-light technology is well established in the printing industry. Offset printers, silkscreen printers and flexo printers are aware of the advantages of UV. UV is used during exposure of the plates or the film with an UV-lamp, but is also useful before the drying of the UV-ink and UV-lacquer.
Inn the wood industry, UV has been used for many years, specifically in the lacquering of panels with a pure or colored coating.
In the the automotive and plastics industies (among others), 3D objects are often coated with UV-lacquers.
The electronics and glass manufacturing industries use UV glues for many applications.
Fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRPE) is hardened under UV light for the production of large plastic parts.
UV light is also used for ageing tests in special sunlight simulation boxes and for exposure of photopolymers.
