Polymerization and cross linking occurs during UV curing
UV curing (ultraviolet curing) is the process by which ultraviolet light initiates a photochemical reaction that generates a crosslinked network of polymers through radical polymerization or cationic polymerization.[1] UV curing is adaptable to printing, coating, decorating, stereolithography, and in the assembly of a variety of products and materials. UV curing is a low-temperature, high speed, and solventless process as curing occurs via polymerization.[2] Originally introduced in the 1960s, this technology has streamlined and increased automation in many industries in the manufacturing sector.[3]
