UV INTENSITY LABELS

UV Intensity Labels are simple, reliable, and easy to use indicators of accumulated UV light dosage. They can be used to determine levels of UV dose with a simple, visual inspection of its color change. They immediately begin to change color upon receiving a UV dose. The label starts off as a bright yellow and turns to a deep blue. Available in two types, with simple single level labels to indicate exposure level and the multi level fastcheck strips which indicate accumulated UV light.

UV 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.

SPECIFICATIONS:
• New UV Intensity Labels™ are available in packages of 990 labels (9 sheets of 110 labels per sheet.)
• New UV Intensity Labels™ Dimensions: ¾"H x 1"W (19mm x 25mm).
