UV LED Curing Association publishes glossary of terms

The recently established UV LED Curing Association has published its inaugural UV LED Glossary of Terms.

This is the organization’s first major accomplishment since founders Integration Technology Limited, Lumen Dynamics and Phoseon Technology announced the formation of the association. The three companies are working to define and establish agreed-upon UV LED-based guidelines for UV LED curing applications. The founders believe the association’s work will have a positive impact towards enabling the adoption of UV LED technology within the printing, coating, and adhesive industries. 

The UV LED Glossary of Terms provides a consolidated list of curing terminology specific to ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) and can be found on the association’s website. Curing systems made of UV LEDs, as well as the technology’s use in manufacturing processes, have been evolving at a steady pace since 2003, yet this is the first ever consolidated effort to document this unique language for the UV curing industry, say the companies. The association hopes that its glossary of terms will give potential users a better foundation with which to navigate and evaluate UV LED technology options.
