Liquid UV Application Expertise
We have specifically designed an entire line of equipment
optimized for UV spraying.

Rotary atomizer cups that provide a consistent, fine particle size

When it comes to UV, no one can match Nordson’s capabilities from product design to application efficiency. We will work with you to determine the best spray process for your application and the best type and configuration of UV lamps to cure your product.

We have invested over $1.2 Million in our testing facility. We can simulate our UV coat and cure concept with your production processes, utilizing your parts, not samples. Since testing is done on a production scale, you can be confident the results are accurate, making your decision easier.
