Direct Cure
Direct Cure medium-pressure lamps open up new possibilities in UV curing. By generating high UV radiation in the 190–220 nm range, they directly stimulate acrylate molecules in an inert nitrogen atmosphere, enabling highly efficient polymerization and crosslinking of acrylate-based inks and varnishes.
Direct Cure Low-migration UV curing with maximum efficiency and food safety
With Direct Cure technology, low-migration prints can be produced easily—whether for intermediate, final, or post-curing. The process achieves migration values comparable to electron beam curing but at a significantly lower cost and with simpler integration into existing systems. Direct Cure lamps can be retrofitted into all inert UV systems, and even non-inert systems can be upgraded with an inert chamber. Thanks to direct acrylate stimulation, the curing process achieves exceptionally high crosslinking density, enhancing chemical, thermal, and weathering resistance. At the same time, the technology requires less than 0.5% photoinitiators, drastically reducing VOC emissions, odor, and migration risk. As a result, Direct Cure ensures compliance with strict food packaging regulations while delivering outstanding performance and reliability.
