You need a very specific, very high temperature to get that polymerization just right. But here&rsquo;s the problem: standard heating usually just hits the surface. You end up with &ldquo;uncured pockets&rdquo; or a coating that just peels off because it never actually bonded. That&rsquo;s why we lean on short-wave infrared (SWIR) lamps. By focusing on that 0.75 to 2.5 $\mu$m wavelength, we can actually get the heat where it needs to be.</p>
