Explanation
It refers to the process of transforming liquid monomer or prepolymer into curing polymer through polymerization reaction under ultraviolet or visible light irradiation. light curing is the most common type of radiation curing. The activation or conditioning energy required for this reaction is low. It can be carried out in a wide temperature range. It is particularly easy to carry out low temperature curing. The light curing system has the characteristics of "timely curing", that is, the curing system with initiator still remains stable in dark environments. light curing can be carried out at any time as required, avoiding the disadvantage of other curing methods that initiator is added before use to prevent premature curing.
