Clearcoat and Curing Validation
UVA light is crucial in validating and ensuring the effectiveness of coating and curing processes. This is particularly important in industries such as automotive, printing and electronics. UVA lights are used for fluorescent inspection to confirm uniform coating coverage and adherence to the substrate.
UVA blacklights are used to inspect conformal coatings (coatings applied to electronic components) to ensure even coverage and to check for voids or areas where the coating may not have adhered properly or well enough.
UVA fluorescent materials or pigments are often added to coatings to enhance their visibility under the UVA light, making the visual assessment easier to check the uniformity and quality of the coating. These are particularly useful when validating clearcoats on printed circuit boards.
Verification
Verifying the curing and coating process is essential for achieving consistent and reliable results, ensuring optimal curing to deliver higher quality products, meet standards required by customers, minimise product failures and returns and protect profits.
Verifying the curing process is as important as inspecting the products. This ensures consistent and reliable results. Verification includes testing and validating the UVA lights within a number of parameters such as intensity of light, exposure time and distance.
UV Dosimeter
UV Light Technology’s dosimeters are designed for reliability and are essential tools for verifying, in real-time, UV intensity and effectiveness of the UV light dose – this provides greater confidence in the accuracy of verification.
Meter Calibration
To help to you deliver the highest levels of quality control it’s critical that your UV Light Technology UV metering products provide you with accurate and reliable measurements that you can trust. For your peace of mind, we provide annual calibration services for UV Light Technology metering products. Please call 01787 370187 or email sales@uv-light.co.uk to discuss your requirements.

Health and Safety Assessments and Training
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, it is necessary to assess the health and safety risks associated with activities affecting people in the workplace and to take measures to control risks and evidence them as far as is reasonably practicable.
The Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010 states that employers conduct a thorough assessment of the risks associated with artificial optical radiation (AOR) exposure in the workplace. This assessment involves gathering specific evidence to ensure compliance with the regulations
In our experience there is often little or no in-depth knowledge of the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010. This regulation stipulates that employers must implement appropriate measures and controls and must ensure that UV light exposure is as low as reasonably possible (ALARP) and nobody is exposed above the exposure limits.
The health and safety services we provide are designed and tailored specifically to your organisation to help you or your customers achieve compliance with this lesser-known area of health and safety in the workplace.
From site reviews, assessments to risk management training and specific training for employers & employees you can rest assured that we can guide your organisation to achieving compliance and control your risks.
