Industrial applications

UV machines for industrial applications

 

UV technology is also used in many industrial sectors. UV coatings are already widely used for car components, household equipment, various consumer goods and floor coverings.
UV coatings for cosmetics cases, headlamp lenses or automotive trims are highly resistant to abrasion and chemicals and extend the life of these products. Characteristics, which certainly have a future!
Possible new areas of application for UV such as wire coating, painting of car body panels or repair-work, coatings for the automotive industries, construction or household appliances show the full extent of the prospects for UV in the future.
