Speed, Speed, Speed
Is the speed of cure of the primer layer of small to medium sized repairs crucial to the production output of your shop??
If YES, then there is currently nothing faster in the Refinish world than UVA Cured Primers.
Fully Cured Primer in as little as 3-5 min
UV curing (ultraviolet curing) is the process by which ultraviolet light initiates a photochemical reaction that generates a cross-linked network of polymers through "radical polymerization" forming a near instant hard and durable coating.
The "UV Light Source" in the graphic above is light cure only - no heat is involved.
Note: Always follow the IR manufactures recommendation for curing distances and times.
A UV unit is an invaluable tool to speed up process and reduce re-work.
