Over the next several months, RadTech Europe will host a wide range of webinars addressing the latest UV LED technologies impacting the industry. While the technical and regulatory webinars have been designed for RTE members only, the educational webinars are free to anyone who is interested to learning more about the power of LED.

In 2023, RadTech Europe will host a UV LED webinar series, with full details below. 

Tuesday April 4, 2023 – An introduction
Introduction to the UV-LED series and UV-LED technology, presented by Angelique Runacre of Fujifilm and Paul Kelly of LuxsitUV

Thursday April 20, 2023 – Basics of LED
Rob Karsten from Phoseon Technology and Holly Steedman from IST INTECH will introduce the fundamentals of LED curing technology. Attendees can expect to learn about the components of the system and how these are combined to form curing systems. The introduction will also dive deeper into technical subjects such as thermal management, optics and focusing, and finally, discuss LED terminology and the implementation in the application.

Thursday May 4, 2023 – The chemistry and materials behind LED
Presented by guest speaker Jacques Lalevee of the University of Haute Alsace

Photopolymerization technology has been developing steadily benefiting from the characteristics of spatial and temporal controllability, environmental protection, and efficient processes. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been used as irradiation sources in photopolymerization increasingly due to their higher safety, lower energy consumption and longer emission wavelength than the conventional mercury lamps. Nowadays, LEDs are almost the primary choice to carry out photopolymerization experiments. In this work, new photoinitiating systems for radical, cationic or hybrid polymerization will be presented for different spectral ranges: near UV, visible, Near Infrared. This work will be extended to photopolyaddition processes. Some applications for coatings, 3D printing and photocomposites will be provided. The mechanical properties of the generated polymers/composites will be also discussed.

Thursday June 8, 2023 – How to tackle the challenges of using LED
Presented by Holly Steedman of Integrated Technology and a special guest to be named at a later date. Are you still an LED sceptic? During this webinar, attendees will hear from LED converts who can tell their story of successful LED implementation. They will also discuss key challenges with using LED, like standardized measurement, current formulation capabilities, and the desire to have an LED replacement for Arc lamps.
