HOW IT WORKS
REVO Systems use short wave infrared light to cure coatings from the inside out. Traditional
methods of curing use medium or long wave infrared. Medium and long wave infrared light
cures from the outside in —which can trap solvents or only cure the surface —leaving coatings
wet on the inside. Short wave differs from these other methods by penetrating the applied
coating and heating the substrate beneath, forcing all of the solvents out and resulting in a
uniform and complete cure. Since it works from the inside out, REVO can cure up to three full
coats of a product in one curing cycle with no need to cure between coats. Additionally, the
infrared technology works on nearly all substrates including steel, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic,
carbon fiber, etc.
