UV Dosage and Exposure
Typical UV curing occurs in the 365 to 405 nm range. UV energy activates photo-initiators that catalyze the formation of polymers from the resin’s monomers.
This action changes the material consistency from a fluid to a gel. As with UV disinfection, it is the UV dosage, i.e. the product of UV power and exposure time, that determines the level of completion or conversely, the residual monomer.
