Drying and curing of paints on glass and ceramics

Drying and curing of UV paints on glass and ceramics

Bright and brilliant paints on glass and ceramics require safe solutions for drying and curing. The paint must be completely dried or cured before the next processing step can take place on the printed glass. Depending on the paint and the shape of the material, UV lamps, IR emitters or a combination of both are used for drying and curing.

Your advantages with infrared heat and UV radiation

UV LEDs transmit energy without generating ozone. This makes the curing of ink even more environmentally friendly.

Our application experts give advice on finding the right solution for your process. In our Applications Competence Centers worldwide, industrial processes can be simulated and materials tested with IR heat, UV technology or Arc and Flash systems.

Infrared systems enable heat to be dosed. This allows temperature profiles during tempering or specific drying at the surface.

Paints on glass surfaces are to look beautiful for as long as possible. They will be able to resist cleaning agents and scratching only if they are optimally cured. UV systems cure intensively.

Only the focused use of UV or IR radiation with corresponding paint formulations can optimise processes. This makes the use of energy efficient.
