Model Chemical Additives -MPUV High Intensity Discharge Lamps

Most UV inks and coatings are cured with UV exposure Lamps.  These lamps are much higher power than a germicidal lamp.  Germicidal lamps have power levels that are just several watts/inch of arc length.  The UV exposure lamps start at approximately 100W/inch and upward.  UV exposure lamps can be made to give considerable germicidal radiation, but, require completely different ballasts, cooling and fixturing methods.  They are not a simple retrofit into low pressure germicidal lamp applications.
