Carbon dioxide inert-gas technology ensures instant UV curing.

The UVACube inert UV curing chamber eliminates long curing times and incomplete curing of coatings. Manufactured by Honle UV America Inc. (Marlboro, MA; 508/229-7774), UVACube uses CO₂ gas to produce efficient, consistent curing on all surfaces, including three-dimensional shapes. CO₂ gas reduces atmospheric oxygen inhibition, resulting in low production costs and fast cure times. The UVACube chamber offers timer-controlled shutters, adjustable elevating tables, and residual-oxygen-level monitoring. The chamber lid and shutters interlock to prevent UV leakage and provide safety of operation. UVACube can combine varying UV intensities with multiple spectra and filters, and is intended for laboratory use as well as manual curing applications.
