Infrared and ultraviolet drying lamps for paint

Infrared and ultraviolet dryers are equipment composed of special lamps, which are used by painting professionals to accelerate and optimize the drying of paints, primers, lacquers and varnishes.

Drying lamps accelerate the evaporation of solvents or water, and thus the drying of freshly applied paints. But not only that, because the lamps also make it possible to accelerate the chemical reaction of polymerization of two-component paints.

The lamps are always used, after having waited for a certain period of drying at room temperature, which is called the desolvation period.

Infrared lamps emit heating waves.
Ultraviolet light lamps produce waves at the opposite end of the spectrum from visible electromagnetic waves. These ultraviolet rays which are between 400 nm and 365 nm are highly energetic, and allow the drying of paints without heating. It's UV lamps are therefore very practical when working on heat-sensitive surfaces or materials.

UV technology for the automotive industry is relatively new, the advantage is that IR curing takes minutes, UV curing takes seconds - also more energy efficient with the introduction of UV LED technology

Stardust distributes the range of specialized products of the English brand VICTORY. These are portable or large infrared dryers, but also very innovative UV dryers in the field of Auto/Motorcycle bodywork, which are suitable for almost all types of paint.

Drying automotive clearcoat with an infrared or UV dryer saves labor and drying time by up to 80%.
Rather than heating an entire paint booth, using a drying lamp is an economical and therefore environmentally friendly process. It is also a convenient method for cooking and drying a small area of a vehicle.

Infrared dryers also allow a better quality of finish, by allowing the appearance of the freshly painted varnish, to keep its perfect shine and to protect it from dust.

This equipment is of professional quality and meets European standards (CE).

These dryers are equipped with anti-glare lamps for infrared dryers. Infrared lamps emit short-wave light, which allows a better economy / efficiency ratio.

On the Stardust website, you can find accessories such as supports, but also spare lamps.

The use of the lamps that we offer is on 220 V electric current, and the powers of the lamps are 1000 W, or 3000 W, or 48 W (for the UV lamp).
