The new BlueWave™ LED visible light, high-intensity spot curing system from DYMAX Corporation offers many advantages over traditional UV spot curing systems including… no bulbs to change, cool cures, no warm-up, and constant intensity for thousands of hours. The BlueWave LED generates light using an array of surface mount LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) instead of traditional metal halide or mercury bulbs. The LEDs produce visible light energy in a relatively narrow wavelength band centered at 410 nm, as contrasted to a typical broad band, high-pressure UV bulb (300-500 nm). This system emits a maximum visible light intensity output of over 2,500 mW/cm² from an 8 mm diameter lightguide, and allows users to adjust intensity output from 0% to 100%. The relatively narrow band produced by LEDs generates cooler curing temperatures. The BlueWave LED is excellent for spot curing of coatings, as well as adhesive bonding of polycarbonate, PVC, PET, metal, glass and many other substrates.

The BlueWave LED curing system can cure many of DYMAX’s visible light curing adhesives that are currently being produced. Their Applications Engineering Group can offer adhesive recommendations for assembly processes utilizing the BlueWave LED curing systems.

DYMAX Corporation is a technology-based company specializing in the formulation, manufacture and service of advanced assembly adhesives, coatings, epoxies, masking resins, and UV curing systems.
