It&rsquo;s just what has to happen. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve started leaning heavily on infrared (IR) heating elements inside our gloveboxes. It gets rid of those messy solvent-based heating mediums and actually brings down the carbon footprint of the whole curing cycle. It&rsquo;s just cleaner.</p> <h2 id="how-the-physics-actually-works">How the physics actually works</h2> <p>Think about a standard convection heater. It has to warm up the air first, and then the air warms your part. It&rsquo;s slow. IR is different. It sends energy straight to the substrate using electromagnetic radiation. Since we&rsquo;re working in a glovebox where we have to keep the atmosphere strictly controlled, this is a huge win. You don&rsquo;t have to worry about forced-air systems kicking up contaminants and ruining a batch. We stick with short-wave and medium-wave emitters. They punch through the curing layer fast. And because it&rsquo;s so quick, you aren&rsquo;t sucking power out of the grid for nearly as long.</p>
