As already stated, it is impossible to imagine life today without the use of UV. There are many fields of application with regard to photo polymerization and sterilization.
A few examples of UV photo polymerization:
Coating of doors and panels
Quick-drying of ink
Refining of printed matter (with a glossy layer, such as glossy
magazines)
Printing of cans, glass, synthetics and the like
Production of glass fibre cables
Gluing of transparent materials (such as glass and synthetics)
Production of CDs
Scratch-resistance of synthetic headlights
Production of printed circuits in electronics
Medical applications, in dentistry for example
Production of adhesive tape
Production of stickers
Production of relief ink, for example braille applications
A few examples of UV sterilization:
Reduction of micro-organisms in the air
Treatment of surfaces of equipment in order to minimize cross-infection
Reduction of micro-organisms on packing material
Reduction of micro-organisms in water or other liquids (for example in juices or in waste water
Reduction of infection on foods such as cheese, bread, mushrooms, melons and pizzas.
