Is infrared heating safe?
While the sun is a terrific source of infrared heat, it also delivers damaging UV rays, which leads some people to falsely conclude that the same problem applies to infrared heaters. The sun produces UV because it is an extremely high temperature source; Schwank infrared heaters are a medium temperature energy source – the ideal range for three reasons: it is below the UV range, a greater portion of the heat energy is converted into infrared heat, most materials are highly receptive to medium wave infrared heat. The latter is a key reason why Schwank infrared heaters can heat, dry and cure faster and more economically than competing systems.
