Product Finishes
Medium Pressure Mercury
With especially high emissions in the UV-C range, Victory mercury lamps provide curing for printing processes that use pigmented inks and UV varnishes.
Metal Halide Gallium
Metal halide, gallium doped lamps have high emissions in the longer UV wavelengths and are suitable for thick layered and pigmented varnishes which require penetrative curing.
Metal Halide Iron
Metal halide, iron doped lamps have a high UV-A and UV-B content, and so are the right choice for curing thickly layered inks.
While traditional medium-pressure and metal halide lamps provide broad-spectrum UV curing, Victory’s UV LED curing systems offer precise wavelength control and energy efficiency, making them ideal for modern printing and coating processes.
What is UV Curing?
UV LED curing systems operate by emitting light in a specific UV wavelength, initiating a photochemical reaction that cures inks, coatings, or adhesives without heat damage. Compared to traditional UV lamps, UV LED curing systems are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and ideal for high-speed industrial applications.
Originally developed and introduced in the 1960’s, this technology has streamlined and increased automation in many areas of the manufacturing sector. UV Curing is the process of using Ultraviolet Light to initiate a photochemical reaction that generates a cross linked network of polymers.
Unlike other technologies such as infrared curing, UV is considered a low temperature process and is therefore ideal for using on substrates that are unsuitable for use with heat producing products.
As cure occurs via polymerisation rather than evaporation, processing times are dramatically improved without the need for drying ovens and large amounts of racking. This faster drying time also helps to reduce flaws and errors as well as improving consistency.
As UV energy has unique interactions with many different materials, Ultraviolet curing can produce unique products that have characteristics that can not be produced via other means. This has made the technology essential for certain industries where changes in strength, durability, chemical resistance and more are required.
What is a Cold UV Curing System?
Cold UV curing systems are designed to cure inks, coatings and adhesives without generating significant heat. Unlike traditional medium pressure UV lamps, cold UV systems use specialised lamps that emit UV light at lower temperatures, making them ideal for heat-sensitive substrates such as plastics, films and delicate packaging materials.
Key benefits of Cold UV Curing Systems:
- Low heat output: Prevents warping, shrinkage, or substrate damage.
- Energy-efficient: Consumes less power compared to medium pressure systems.
- Consistent curing: Provides even polymerisation across the surface for high-quality finishes.
- Versatile applications: Suitable for both printing and coating processes that require minimal thermal impact.
Cold UV systems are particularly valuable in industries where substrate integrity is critical, such as flexible packaging, electronics and high-end graphic printing.
Hand sealed for assured quality
Our hand-sealed and capillary-sealed lamps ensure the highest quality for both traditional UV lamps and advanced UV LED curing systems, offering precision and reliability for demanding production environments.
Capillary sealed UV lamps — also known as roll sealed — are made by hand, using the vacuum within the lamp to form accurately the heated quartz around the conducting foil. This method allows for short, specialised, high quality production runs such as for high current double foil designs.
