UV Lights for Curing UV Resin
I want to build a lightbox to cure UV resin and I’m not sure which to get. The box I have now is 405nm and that’s barely strong enough to cure the UV resin. I’m not sure if I would need 395 or 365 for that purpose.
For your ultraviolet curing installation, we might primarily advise checking to see if the chemical process benefits from a specific peak absorption wavelength. Based on our understanding, some curing methods benefit from utilizing a precise ultraviolet wavelength.
Generally speaking, as the 365nm version is further from the 400nm visible wavelength cutoff point, it will produce a greater fluorescent effect upon targets than the 395nm option.
Due to a combination of this as well as the fact that the 395nm option is fairly close to the current 405nm solution currently being used, we would recommend utilizing the 365nm option.
