UV and LED UV systems allow coatings to be cured quickly, efficiently and with outstanding durability. This not only ensures flawless results and a long product life, but also optimises production processes. Coatings and finishes on plastic parts are cured in a wide range of applications to achieve specific properties such as scratch resistance, a high-gloss appearance or decorative surface finishes. Thanks to our many years of experience in UV technology, we offer customised solutions for the most demanding requirements. UV curing is also particularly environmentally friendly, as it does not use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fulfils the highest quality and sustainability standards.
For cosmetic components such as lipstick tubes, bottles or caps, both the appearance and the durability of the coated surface play an important role. Depending on the application, solvent-based, solvent-free or water-based UV coatings can be used and cured with UV systems. Typical substrates include, amongst others, plastic and glass surfaces.
Metallised cosmetic components can also be coated with UV-curable protective and primer coatings. For temperature-sensitive substrates, LED UV technology offers additional possibilities: the lower proportion of infrared radiation compared with conventional UV lamp systems can reduce the thermal stress on the substrate.
The configuration of the UV systems can be adapted to different component geometries and coating processes. This enables both partial and full-surface curing.
Depending on the application, our UV and LED-UV systems offer:
