Zusammenfassung:Light emitting diodes (LEDs) offer many potential benefits over traditional light-curing equipment. LEDs last longer, cost less to operate, generate less heat, and can be used in more flexible configurations; but until recently, LEDs have not had sufficient power to cure adhesives in manufacturing operations. Here, Courtney and Noonan discuss a new adhesive technology that makes it possible to produce LEDs with enough output to meet this challenge.
