UV curing for flooring

UV and LED UV curing technologies are transforming the flooring industry and offer a rapid curing solution. Traditional methods rely on time-consuming air drying, often causing delays and inconveniences. 

UV rays quickly harden coatings, adhesives, and finishes, reducing installation time. LED UV curing, a more energy-efficient alternative, emits less heat and is eco-friendly. These technologies create durable, scratch-resistant surfaces, ensuring long-lasting, low-maintenance floors.

Furthermore, they eliminate harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in some traditional flooring materials, promoting healthier indoor environments. UV and LED UV curing are the future of flooring, offering speed, efficiency, and sustainability for both residential and commercial applications.

Maximum productivity, minimum investment

Increase your production with your existing equipment

The technology promises revolutionary changes, especially in the production of 4 meter wide vinyl floors - both in industrial and retail segments.

Excimer technology with a working width of 4 meters is not just a technological leap, but a game changer in surface finishing. It not only revolutionizes existing production capacities, but also opens doors to new market segments and significantly changes the landscape of the flooring industry.

Advantages of UV and LED UV curing in flooring applications

  • Rapid Curing: UV and LED curing processes are incredibly fast. They can cure coatings and finishes within seconds, significantly reducing installation time compared to traditional drying methods, which can take hours or even days.

  • Energy Efficiency: LED curing is particularly energy-efficient. It consumes less power and emits minimal heat compared to conventional curing methods, making it more eco-friendly and cost-effective.

  • Low Maintenance: UV and LED-cured floors are highly durable and scratch-resistant. They require minimal maintenance, saving time and money on upkeep over the long term.

  • VOC Reduction: These technologies drastically reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), improving indoor air quality and promoting healthier living and working environments.

  • Consistency: UV and LED curing ensures consistent curing results across the entire flooring surface, reducing the likelihood of imperfections or uneven drying.

  • Enhanced Aesthetics: UV and LED curing can enhance the appearance of flooring materials, bringing out vibrant colors and patterns while preserving their original look over time.

  • Instant Use: Once cured, UV and LED-treated flooring can be used immediately, eliminating downtime and inconvenience associated with waiting for drying or curing processes to finish.

  • Environmental Benefits: Reduced energy consumption, lower waste generation, and fewer harmful emissions make UV and LED curing more environmentally friendly compared to traditional curing methods.

  • Cost Savings: Although the initial investment in UV and LED curing equipment can be higher, the long-term cost savings in terms of reduced labor, maintenance, and energy consumption make these technologies a cost-effective choice.

  • Versatility: UV and LED curing can be applied to various types of flooring materials, including wood, concrete, vinyl, and more, making them versatile solutions for a wide range of flooring applications.

In summary, UV and LED curing technologies offer numerous advantages in flooring applications, including speed, energy efficiency, durability, and environmental benefits.
