How UV Curing Technology Reshapes the Printing and Coating Industries
News 2025-11-26
UV curing technology replaces traditional thermal drying methods by irradiating photoinitiators in UV inks with ultraviolet light, triggering chemical reactions that transform the inks from liquid to solid.
In the printing industry, UV curing technology has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough of “instant drying after printing.” It not only renders printed colors more vivid and saturated but also significantly enhances the adhesion of printed products. For mass-production lines using UV inks, curing can be completed in less than 5 seconds, boosting production efficiency by over 30%.

In the coating sector, UV curing technology has ushered in a new paradigm for green coating. When wood furniture adopts UV coatings, curing time is reduced from hours to seconds, while the coating layer boasts higher hardness and better abrasion resistance. More importantly, UV coatings contain almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), produce no ozone or mercury emissions, making the coating process more environmentally friendly and reducing hazards to operators.
With advancements in new materials and technologies such as LED UV light sources, UV curing is expanding from high-end manufacturing to more fields, emerging as a core driver for the green and intelligent transformation of related industries.
