UV LED: an emerging technology for wood varnishing
The LED technology (acronym for “Light Emitting Diode”) represents an efficient and long-lasting choice whose advantages are now finding application in various fields. At the industrial level, technologically innovative production lines that use alternative crosslinking systems through LED lamps have been added to traditional UV painting systems, and they guarantee the same final result from a quality perspective. At the same time, LED application cycles are also becoming popular among installers and professionals in the sector. LED technology advantages: sustainability; innovation; efficiency.
Environment
LED lamps, differently from UV lamps, are mercury-free and do not produce ozone.
Useful life
UV lamps have a working life of about 1,000 hours while LED lamps can reach more than 25,000 hours.
Working temperature
UV lamps have an operating temperature of 350° while the LED ones only 60°.
Energy consumption
UV lamps have a high energy consumption, thanks to LED lamps the saving is about 90%.
On / Off
UV lamps require pre-heating and must always remain ON; LED lamps are ready for use and automatically switch on only at the wood passage.
Why choosing LED systems?
The context we live in is rapidly transforming and sustainability is no longer just an option but has become a real necessity. It is not enough to innovate products and business processes, it must be done responsibly by creating a real network throughout the supply chain. This is why the Ecological Transition has become a fundamental driver at all levels, and Chimiver wants to be at the forefront of this moment of global change.
BENEFITS FOR MANUFACTURERS
Significant energy savings and the consequent reduction in production costs while fully respecting the environment.
BENEFITS FOR INSTALLERS
Efficient and optimized construction schedules. Fewer hours to complete the work, fewer necessary trips, more time for new projects.
BENEFITS FOR INDIVIDUALS
A sustainable choice for renewing parquet floors, using products with high resistance characteristics and minimizing disruptions at home.
