Absolutely. Aetek has had a number of means to abate the heat emitted to the substrate from the UV lamp and continues to advance that technology. With the UltraPak, a combination of dichroic shutters and a dichroic quartz filter allows use of filmic materials down to about 2 mil without the need for chill rolls. Aetek would be pleased to assist a prospect in running a sample of the intended film via use of demo equipment that can be fitted to the prospects’ press. Contact the Aetek sales group to arrange a demo.
