Textiles & Fabrics

The finish on your fabric, cured by light

The label inside your waterproof jacket and the antimicrobial finish on your gym kit were probably cured with light. As UK and EU manufacturers move away from solvent-based finishing and face rising energy costs, infrared drying and UV curing are becoming the standard, not the exception. Our IR systems dry woven and non-woven fabrics faster and more evenly than hot-air tunnels, while UV curing bonds DWR, antimicrobial and flame-retardant finishes instantly, with zero solvent emissions.

Food Processing

Chemical-free hygiene, built into the line

Your bread gets its crust from infrared. Your conveyor belt may already be cleaned by ultraviolet light rather than chemicals. UK and EU food manufacturers are under pressure to hit HACCP and EU Regulation 852/2004 hygiene standards while cutting downtime for cleaning. Infrared delivers fast, targeted heat for baking, browning and drying, while UV-C disinfection sterilises belts, surfaces and water systems without chemical residue or production stoppages.

Aquaculture & Fish Farming

Clean water, no chemicals required

The water in a recirculating fish farm is cleaner than it looks, and ultraviolet light is usually why. As chemical treatments like formalin and chloramine-T face tightening UK and EU veterinary restrictions, UV-C water disinfection at 253.7nm has become the standard for RAS systems — inactivating bacteria, viruses and parasites without leaving any chemical residue.

Labels & Printing

Instant cure, lower energy, no mercury

The label on your beer bottle was probably cured in a fraction of a second under UV light. Press operators are under pressure to run faster, cut energy use and remove solvent-based inks, but mercury arc UV systems are energy-hungry and slow to warm up. UV-LED curing switches on instantly, uses a fraction of the energy, and lasts up to twenty times longer than mercury arc lamps.

How IR and UV Are Used in Horticulture and Vertical Farming

When most people think about growing food, they think about soil, water and sunlight. Light is the obvious ingredient — but which wavelengths of light, and why, is a conversation the horticultural industry is only just beginning to have at scale. Infrared and ultraviolet sit either side of the visible spectrum.

The PFAS Ban and Textile Finishing: Why IR and UV Could Be the Answer

If you work in textile finishing, you already know the chemicals your production line has relied on for decades are being phased out... so the clock is ticking. IR drying targets the coating and substrate directly rather than heating the surrounding air. IR heats the surface in a targeted and uniform manner — ideal for water-based systems and demanding coating thicknesses.

Why outdoor IR heating is replacing gas patio heaters across UK hospitality

Gas patio heaters—the classic mushroom or pyramid style—have been used across UK hospitality outdoor spaces for decades. They're familiar, widely available and for a long time they were the only realistic option. But the economics and logistics have shifted.
