UV Curing System

The UV curing system for the Physica MCR rheometer allows the investigation of UV-initiated curing reactions, following materials' development from their original to their fully cured state. Samples such as inks, glues and coatings are loaded onto a glass plate and are then irradiated by a UV light source. The light guide holder under the glass plate complies with the industrial standard, which means that already existing light sources can also be used. The RheoPlus software allows any combination of irradiation time and frequency throughout the measurement.
