UV LEDs with peak spectral outputs of 365, 385, 395, or 405 nanometers (nm) are increasingly being used to cure adhesives formulated to work with LEDs. When compared to broadband mercury sources, UV LEDs offer: Solid-state reliability with an output that is expected to be stable over tens of thousands of hours Quick on/off capability, enabling them to be “cycled on” when curing needs to take place and “cycled off” between parts Less thermal transfer, which can be beneficial or detrimental...
