The advantages of UV curing for composites are clear: as a moulder or manufacturer you work with a system that is safer and faster than conventional technologies using peroxide.

As regulations relating to styrene emissions get tougher, UV curing offers an alternative approach that is up to three or four times as fast, depending on the complexity of the parts and systems involved.

By relying on a photoinitiator, rather than peroxide, you get greater control over the production process, allowing you to ‘cure on demand’. And our formulations remain stable for up to 24 months.
