Most plastics have a heat distortion temperature between 60 and 100°C, while traditional UV lamps generate heat during irradiation. Improper control can lead to product warping or deformation. Due to their unique material properties, plastic products have always been one of the most challenging applications in UV drying.

Yes, UV light can "dry" (more accurately, "cur") paint—but only if a UV-curable coating is used and a suitable UV Paint Dryer Machine is employed (the light source, energy, cooling, and transmission must be matched to the coating and workpiece).

The larger the panel, the lower the utilization rate of the UV Dryer Machine. Typically: • Small panels: 6000–10000 pieces cured per day; • Medium panels: 2000–4000 pieces cured per day; • Large furniture: 1000–2000 pieces cured per day.

UV Paint Dryer Machine: Drying Process 1. Paint Preparation and Application (Before Entering the UV Dryer) 2. Feeding and Positioning (Entering the Exposure Zone) 3. Initial Exposure (Photoinitiation and Initial Reaction) 4. Chain Growth and Crosslinking (Main Curing Stage) 5. Surface Effects and Oxygen Inhibition (Particularly Significant in Free Radical Systems) 6. Deep Cure and Shrinkage Stabilization 7. Post-Cure/Post-Photoreaction

The key lies in "process design and execution": As long as the UV paint dryer is correctly selected, the coating is matched and parameters are strictly controlled, and the substrate and process are thoroughly validated, UV will not cause unacceptable damage to the finished wood.

A UV paint dryer machine is a specialized device that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to rapidly polymerize and cure paint, creating a wear-resistant, chemical-resistant, and gloss-stable coating. It is widely used in surface treatment processes in industries such as wood, furniture, printing, plastics, glass, metal, and electronics.

In protected indoor conditions, with the right formulation and curing process, UV paint can last for years or even decades. However, in outdoor or high-wear environments, its lifespan is significantly shortened, potentially lasting only a few years.

Common Industry Products and Market Pricing The general purchasing price of a “XMF” wood UV dryer machine typically falls in the range of USD 5,000 to USD 10,000. This range covers the most common small- to medium-sized UV curing equipment for wood/boards along with their standard configurations.
