At UWAVE, all our products and services revolve around the performance of UV LED technology, tailored to the unique needs of each industry. Below is a concise overview of our main UV application areas, click through to each dedicated web page for more information.
Photochemical hardening of resins, inks, varnishes, or coatings using high-intensity UV-A light (365–405 nm). UWAVE’s UV LED systems deliver exceptional intensity and energy efficiency for fast curing applications like screen printing, conformal coating, encapsulation, crosslinking, and high-speed printing.
Instant adhesive curing (optical, plastic/glass, glass/metal) with UV-A exposure for applications like optical bonding, medical device manufacturing, loudspeaker and luxury goods assembly. By activating photoinitiators in liquid formulations, UV-A light (365–405 nm) creates strong polymer networks that bond parts securely in seconds.
Detection methods that rely on certain photosensitive materials emitting visible light when excited by UV light (255–405 nm). UWAVE’s compact, precise UV LED lamps replace bulky mercury systems for tasks such as conformal coating inspection, dust detection, anti-counterfeiting, gemology, and quality control applications.
Dye Penetrant Testing (PT/LPI): Apply a penetrant liquid to surfaces, remove excess, then use UV-A (365 nm) to reveal subsurface flaws by fluorescence.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT/MPI): Introduce magnetic flux into ferromagnetic parts; fluorescent particles gather at defect sites and glow under UV-A (365 nm), highlighting cracks and discontinuities.
Widely used in aerospace, energy, automotive, and other industries for reliable, non-destructive quality inspections.
Artificial solar simulation using UV-B, UV-A and visible LED to irradiate materials and cells and quick evaluate the impact of long-term sunlight exposure. The combination and adjustment of selected wavelengths in large and high-power systems offers a stable, repeatable and homogeneous lighting.
Chemical-free surface, air, and water sterilization using germicidal UV-C light (200–280 nm). Our UV LED disinfection solutions offer rapid, energy-efficient microbial inactivation for healthcare, food processing, and industrial facilities.
