13. ng UV curable compounds vary in composition The type and amount of sensitizer type and amount of pigment etc used in UV curable formulations will dictate UV curing speed UV curing time is not directly proportional to coating thickness A two fold thickness requires 10 times the radiation energy of a single thickness UV energy received inside a layer of coating decreases exponen tially with depth UV curing time will rise with the increase of UV energy per unit surface up to the saturation point This is not linear The curing rate of most monomers in the presence of air at a rate greater than the increase in UV energy per unit surface If the amount of UV energy per unit surface is doubled curing speed may be tripled quadrupled or even rise ten fold Two lamps of even power will not cause a cure as quickly as one UV lamp with twice the radiation power One lamp with twice the power doubles the energy radiated to the same surface and curing speed will double UV curing lamps with the highest power to size ratio should be sued The non linear relation between curing rate and UV energy dictates the UV processor reflector design Focused reflectors incorporated in UVP Inc processors concentrate the UV energy on a small surface rather than a uniform distribution over a larger surface Various UV sensitizers require different ranges of UV wavelength for proper reaction Sensitizers should react to UV in a range other than those absorbed
