PrimarcTM UV Technology manufactures an extensive range of medium pressure mercury arc lamps suitable for all known UV curing systems. Offering outstanding performance, the lamps provide exceptionally good service life and consistent UV output. Primarc uv curing lamps are used world-wide for the curing of inks and coatings in the printing, packaging and labelling industries as well as in a wide range of industrial environments, including CD/DVD manufacture, fibre optic cable production, wood products and electronics.
All Primarc UV curing lamps are manufactured from high-clarity, vitreous silica, normally referred to as quartz.
Quartz has the property of high-transparency to ultraviolet light, particularly at the shortwave end of the spectrum where over 90% of the UV energy generated is transmitted through the quartz. The electrode
components are manufactured using the highest-quality materials, ensuring long and reliable lamp life.
The Primarc Quality Standard ensures that each lamp is not only manufactured to the most stringent of specifications,
but also lamp performance is consistent each time, every time.
Metal Halide Lamps In addition to a broad range of medium pressure mercury arc lamps, Primarc is
continuously developing a series of spectrally enhanced metal halide versions.
Metal 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 halides creates a shift in the spectral output of a standard lamp, producing longer wavelengths. These
longer wavelengths enable a greater depth of cure to be achieved, making them particularly useful in the curing of pigmented and thicker coatings.
Metal halide lamps are increasingly used in the printing industry as well as in a wide variety of industrial
applications such as the production of printed circuit boards, electronic components, fibre optic cables, CD’s/DVD’s and wood products.
Since 1970 Primarc has played a leading role in UV lamp development. The Primarc team is dedicated to providing
design and manufacturing support to end-users and original equipment manufacturers worldwide. Our R&D department works constantly with a range of companies to develop new applications for UV curing and
improve existing products.
With over 30 years experience in UV technology, Primarc UV Technology is one of the world’s longest serving
manufacturers of UV curing lamps. During this time, our technical expertise, manufacturing processes and repeatability of lamp performance have reached a standard that has become the benchmark across the globe.
