FASTCHECK STRIPS (5 LEVELS)
UV
FastCheck™ Strips are simple, reliable, and easy to use indicators of
accumulated UV light dosage. They are the first product that can be used to
determine levels of UV dose with a simple, visual inspection due to the 5
separate color changing zones. Each of the 5 zones begin to change color
after a specific amount of UV dose has been received. First the
"1" zone begins turning from yellow to blue. Then each subsequent
color zone starts to change colors when its specific chemistry has received
the proper amount of UV to activate its color change.
The versatility of this unique UV measurement tool allows users to measure a
significant range of UV doses. FastCheck™ Strips measure UV doses from
0mJ/cm² to greater than 5,000mJ(5J)/cm². As well, due to their paper-thin
profile and thermal stability, they can be used in all applications where a
radiometer is not possible, including: Web printing, Sheet Fed printing,
Exposure Verification of exposed products, 3-D curing, and personal UV
exposure level testing.
The FastCheck™ Strips' clearly identifiable color change enables users to
visually differentiate the dose differences. To measure the dose even more
precisely, use a spectrophotometer to record color change by the UV
FastCheck™ Strips. NOTE: For best results, observe color change
immediately after exposure to UV light as label may change.
As well, a comparative dose chart for the FastCheck™ Strips is included in
each package. With this chart, each tested FastCheck Strip can be correlated
to the millijoule range of UV energy that each color pattern represents.
Made from
the same exclusive material, the
New UV Intensity Labels™ (N010-005) have the same color
changing principle as the Strips, but they have only 1 color changing
square.
FEATURES:
• FastCheck™ Strips measure the entire UV spectrum
• Accurate visual determination of UV dose made possible
• Monitor UV dose in difficult-to-access curing environments
• Detect UV lamp degradation and equipment failures
• Provide the user with periodic assurance that their UV source is
performing to expectations
• Greater rate of color change provides clearer, more precise UV dose
determination
• Determine the dose profile in the 3D curing chambers or across wide webs
to ensure even cure
• Measure the dose of sunlight in outdoor curing applications
• Evaluate and compare multiple UV light sources
SPECIFICATIONS:
• UV FastCheck™ Strips are available in packages 200 Strips (10 sheets
of 20 adhesive backed Strips per sheet)
• UV FastCheck™ Strips Dimensions: 1/2”H x 2-1/8”W (13mm x 54mm)
• Additional comparative dose charts are available for purchase.
NEW
UV INTENSITY LABELS (1 LEVEL)
This
photochromic intensity indicator is a reliable, low cost, simple, in-house
method of monitoring UV intensity. When exposed to UV, the yellow labels
undergo a gradual color change from yellow to blue that is directly related
to the energy value received.
Made from the same exclusive material as the UV
FastCheck Strips™, the New UV Intensity Labels™ (N010-005)
have the same color changing principle as the Strips, but they
have only 1 color changing square. The New UV Intensity Labels have
a sensitivity range that is 5 times greater than the product they have
replaced, the old UV Intensity Labels™ (N010-001).
The dramatic improvements over the old Intensity Labels™ include:
• Much greater color shift
• More stable, repeatable and consistent color change
• Not subject to increasing color changes at elevated temperatures
The adhesive backed label is placed on a sample product or substrate and
processed to proper cure rate. The color deviation can easily be measured
with a spectrophotometer to record color change or by comparing the colors
to test labels created to known operating standards to determine lamp
failure or processing inconsistency. NOTE: For best results, observe
color change immediately after exposure to UV light as label may change.
If used on a regular basis, they can detect equipment problems at an early
enough stage to prevent lengthy shutdowns. Daily tests can easily indicate a
step by step calibration for an accurate reference within each batch. The
use of a Digital Tachometer can help insure repeatable results.
Suggested Use: the New Intensity Labels are especially useful in systems
where other instruments are not practical, such as 3-D curing, web coating,
container printing, medical sterilization, etc.
