Why do professionals use IR lamp on freshly coated cars?

The most crucial factor to gain long lasting protection by using a quartz-based coating is reaching the structural integrity of the applied layer. Two terms should be differed in this case – “drying time” and “curing time”. When we speak about drying time we have the time between coating and wiping the gentle mist appearing as solvents and oil evaporate in our mind. Curing time is the whole time needed for the coating to gain its full resistance and 경도. Depending on climate, temperature and humidity it’s from 2 days in extremely hot and dry climates up to even two weeks in rainy and cold weather conditions. Professiolnals use IR lamps to shorten this time and prepare the coating to leave the studio as soon as possible. It’s possible to fully cure a quartz coated vehicle by heating each element for at least 20 minutes at approx. 60’C
