Article Topic[edit]

Lets develop a good resource for those who are interested in UV curing technology! Will be adding more as I work my way through these books in the references. Disclosure: I am currently working as a research and development tech for a manufacturing company developing new Mercury and LED curing technology. I will make a personal page on here at some point Talkingtech (talk) 12:37, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also wondering why accuracy is disputed? Also why notability is in question?. I will be working on improving my references. Talkingtech (talk) 12:37, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability means that it doesn't seem to meet the general notability guideline ("significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"), but I can't speak for the reliability of the sources. I'd already removed the accuracy dispute as nothing had been flagged in the article or raised on the talk page. --McGeddon (talk) 12:41, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The goal can't be to provide a good resource for people wanting to get into UV curing, it has to be to explain the process. There is a drastic shortage of quality sourcing here. We need to explain the process of UV curing, how photoinitiators work, etc. It doesn't need to be a sales job. This is why I put up LED curing for merge into here, as that article is in even worse shape. Notability isn't an issue, it just needs to become an encyclopedia article, not a blog page.

Fair enough. Maybe I put the article up too fast. I will be adding more info this week. We should work on it together so I can learn a bit more on the wikipedia process. I have great resources and access to experts in the field. Lets talk about an outline so we can be on the same page and help boost the integrity of the content. Thank you for your assistance.

Wikilonk for UV LED Curing & UV Curing, and references[edit]

The link for 'UV LED curing' links to this page 'UV curing'. So I'm going remove that link. Also the URL link used in the reference, UV Curing Technology: Traditional UV Curing & UV LED Curing (Volume 1) is actually the same wikilink 'UV LED curing', so I'm going to remove that reference completely because it is misleading.

Chemistry of UV curing should be discussed[edit]

I think there should be some discussion of the chemistry involved. That's what I opened the article to read about, but found nothing. I happen to know, for example, that certain chromium compounds, such as potassium dichromate, combined with organic colloids such as gelatin can be used to produce UV curable substances; I assume there are other, likely less toxic, alternatives. (I vaguely recall that certain diazo compounds can be used.)

There also should be a more detailed discussion of the underlying chemical mechanism.

It would be very useful if someone who is knowledgeable about the subject provided more information about the chemistry. The current article consists mostly of information about UV lights -- something I think belongs in a separate article on UV lights, not in an article titled "UV Curing." Thinkatron (talk)

Wiki Education assignment: CHEM 300[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 8 January 2024 and 26 April 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Bonobo12345 (article contribs). Peer reviewers: Artisticalligator.

I would like better pictures that help the general reader understand what UV curing products are like or change the captions. The first two photos are a little unclear. I would also add a section regarding the chemistry of UV curing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonobo12345 (talk • contribs) 15:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
