Why Side Fire Reflection is the Next Big Thing in Industrial-Led UV Curing
/You may know that ultraviolet (UV) light has shorter wavelengths and that plants use this light from the sun to manufacture food and energy for sustenance. But unless you work in an industry that uses it, you probably haven’t heard of UV curing, which is the process of using UV light to solidify glues and resins.
So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of UV curing and how is Baldwin Technology using it to make improvements in industrial applications?
Unlocking Potential host Tyler Kern was joined by Baldwin Technology Sales Executive Kevin Joesel to talk about Baldwin’s journey to working with UV curing and to break down some of the specifics of how and why UV curing is useful for industries.

Joesel explained the key advantages of water-cooled LED applications in industrial environments: “Constructing the whole subsystem around the lamp is a lot easier. It’s a lot less complex, it runs quieter. And the next big advantage is it’s instant ‘on,’ it’s instant ‘off’— we’re talking about milliseconds.” He added, “And that’s really the key benefits to this technology. It makes UV curing easier to implement, less costly to implement, and less costly to run.”
