Getting More Out of Your Line with 120W/cm Mercury UV Lamps

We stick to a power density of 120W/cm for our standard mercury lamps. Why? Because it’s the sweet spot. It gives you the punch you need to cure adhesives, inks, and coatings quickly, but it doesn’t just incinerate your materials.

The Heat Factor

Here is the thing about 120W/cm: it packs a lot of UVC and UVB radiation into a small space. That’s great for your resin—it kicks those photoinitiators into gear and lets you crank up your line speed. But there’s a catch. That quartz tube getshot. If your conveyor crawls too slowly, you’re looking at scorched parts or “skinning”—where the top looks perfect but the bottom is still a gooey mess. You’ll want to make sure your cooling fans or water-jackets are actually doing their job to pull that heat away before it ruins your product.
