Unveiling the Innovative Application of Excimer UV Curing Technology in Actual Production

As society evolves, consumers' demand for life quality and home environment is escalating, and expectations for the quality and sensory experience of home products are ever higher. Therefore, the modern home industry has undergone rapid development.

In this context, home panels, as an essential component of the modern home field, have also achieved diversified technological innovation. In recent years, excimer panels, known for their high-quality characteristics like wear resistance, anti-fouling, anti-fingerprint, and reparability, have received extensive attention and admiration in the market. The realization of these superior features cannot be separated from a key technology - Excimer UV curing technology.

01.Innovative Application of Excimer UV Curing Technology in Actual Production

The term "Excimer" might be a novelty for many. In reality, however, excimer light source technology has existed for many years and has been successfully applied in several industrial areas, such as surface treatment, disinfection, industrial processing, lighting, etc. Yet, in photo-curing applications, the unique effects exhibited by the excimer light source have garnered more and more attention in recent years.

"Excimer UV Curing Technology," a form of photo-curing technology, has become one of the hotspots in the photo-curing application field in recent years. For instance, excimer panels - their unique matte and tactile effects are realized through the application of excimer UV curing technology.

In the curing process of excimer panels, a combination of excimer UV curing and medium-pressure UV mercury lamp curing is used. Among them, 172nm excimer UV curing technology, as one of the key technologies, is the main technique to achieve the matte and tactile effects of excimer panels. The principle is that the 172nm excimer light is short-wave UV, with limited penetration (100-500nm), and can only cure the surface of the coating. The combination of these two curing methods produces microscopic wrinkles on the surface of the coating, forming diffuse reflection of light, thereby achieving matte and tactile effects.
