Supplier's Recommended UV Intensity can be used as baseline. If another intensity is needed, us the following graphs to determine irradiation area and working distance.


UV Curing Recipes

Recipes for hybrid materials are for initial tack only. UV exposure and heat cure will typically be needed for 100% crosslink.
