Reflector for UV curing systems

摘要

Apparatus providing reflectors for ultraviolet (UV) curing systems are described, wherein a diffuse reflecting material is used and a total flux reflected from a surface onto an exposed surface is increased. A cooling system may be used to maintain a temperature of the diffuse reflecting material below a softening point or maximum operating temperature. The reflector may take on many forms, including a parabolic or circular shape, and the UV source may be a high intensity UV light source.
