halide lamps are mercury vapour lamps with metal halide additives which create specific wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation to precision- match the photo-initiator being cured.  The addition of metal

useful in the curing of pigmented and thicker coatings.</FONT></P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT COLOR="#000066" SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Univers,Zurich BT,sans-serif">Metal halide lamps are
