Curing typically refers to the use of ultraviolet (UV), electron beam (EB) or visible light to polymerise a combination of monomers and oligomers onto a substrate. The UV and EB material may be formulated into an ink, coating, adhesive or other product. This is known as radiation-curing technology because UV and EB are radiant energy sources. The energy sources for UV or visible-light curing are medium-pressure mercury lamps, pulsed-xenon lamps, LEDs or lasers. EB processing can penetrate matter.
