Integration Technology Ltd is a world leader in UV Lamp and UV LED curing technology and in partnership with the Metz Holding group, offers the largest portfolio of UV and UV LED curing solutions in the World.

Our UV curing systems provide dependable, uniform UV curing in any industrial application - curing applications using Inks, Composites, Coatings and Adhesives. With compact designs and energy-saving UV LED bulbs, Integration Technology’s LED UV systems are the gold standard.

Widely used for label printing, wide format printing, and medical device manufacturing, these UK-made UV Lamp and UV LED curing systems are available in a range of configurations and can be sold stand-alone or as part of a fully integrated modular system.

UV curing (ultraviolet curing) is a photopolymerization process in which ultraviolet light is used to initiate a photochemical reaction to change the state of a chemistry by creating a crosslinked network of polymers. UV curing is becoming fundamental in applications where there is a need for converting (curing) inks, adhesives and coatings.

Historically, Mercury lamps have been the standard way of generating a high intensity source of UV light to effect this cure, however UV LED curing systems are fast becoming a technology of choice across a wide range of applications from wide-format inkjet to 3D printing, and from visual embellishment to functional coatings, and from structural to pressure sensitive adhesives. Some Industries that take advantage of UV curing include medical equipment, automobiles, cables, cosmetics (for example artificial fingernails and gel nail polish), food, science, education and art.

In comparison to other traditional technologies, curing with UV energy offers faster production speeds, reduced maintenance costs, significant energy savings, and UV LED additionally offers the benefits of  the “cold cure” effect  which means it is ideal for thin film or heat-sensitive substrates and even opens up some processes that were not possible before.

UV LED curing has zero ozone emissions, no mercury content, even lower energy costs, vastly improved lifetimes and is a more sustainable solution.
