Combining exceptional durability, cost effective process; UV curing is an attractive option for quality wood finishers. As a "green" technology, ultraviolet overcomes the limitations of solvent-based, thermally-cured coating producing a premium finish while in compliance with VOC environment mandates. Containing no organic solvents, there are no harmful emissions. Equipment can be cleaned with water. UV curing produces beautiful, stain resistant surfaces. Finished wood can be stacked immediately simplifying handling. Ultraviolet finishes cure incredibly fast permitting finishing lines to be shortened, line speeds increased and products to be immediately handled. Transfer efficiency (amount of material adhering to an object vs. the amount applied) is also significantly improved, particularly with roll coat and curtain coat application systems. This adds up to enhance your bottom line.

UV finishes do have their drawbacks mostly in the area of high capital investment costs. A UV application system will be a significant investment. UV systems are technically advanced. Their high voltage nature requires employee training and unique troubleshooting experience. Optical and thermal parameters must be addressed. It is best to deal with companies actually manufacturing the product verses a distributor with limited technical knowledge.

TCS Technologies manufactures direct replacement wood finishing lamps for virtually all UV systems. Our lamps provide stable output over time, long life, and uniformity across the width of flat lines. We manufacture light sources with arc lengths ranging from 1.5 inches to 86 inches and everything in-between.

UV equipment manufacturers do not make the lamps they sell! Why pay inflated prices on replacement lamps? We can clone almost any curing lamp. Simply send us a lamp to match. It need not be new but it must light. We will reproduce the lamp; replace it faster and at less cost than the OEM product. With TCS Technologies, you are dealing directly with the lamp manufacturer for a more cost-effective way to purchase lamps.
