Definitions

  • This invention relates to a metal vapor discharge lamp to be employed for photochemical reactions or curing of paints and inks.
  • Ultraviolet rays are often used for inducing photochemical reactions or curing paints and inks, and those having a wavelength in the range of about 280 to 400 nm are useful for such purposes.
  • High-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamps have conventionally been used as sources of such ultraviolet rays.
  • the light emitted from a high-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp consists of a multiplicity of luminescent line spectra, and each spectrum distributes over a considerably broad range of wavelength. Accordingly, it is not efficient to use the high-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp to achieve photochemical reactions or curing of paints, in which the effective wavelength range is about 280 to 400 nm as described above.
  • the ultraviolet rays must penetrate through the layer of the material to be cured such as a paint or an ink so that it can completely be cured, it requires a considerable time to achieve the complete curing only with the aid of the luminescent line spectrum of mercury.
  • a metal vapor discharge lamp is frequently used, which has an increased quantity of light emission in the effective wavelength range by using a metal halide-filled bulb.
  • an iron-filled metal vapor discharge lamp is particularly convenient to achieve curing of paints and inks since it continuously emits ultraviolet rays in the wavelength range of 350 to 400 nm.
  • halide of thallium is effective for achieving the above objects, and they made various experiments to accomplish this invention.
  • a metal thallium or a thallium halide into the metal vapor discharge lamp having mercury and iron filled therein in such a way that the gram atom number ratio of Tl/Fe may be 1/200 to 1/2, deposition of iron on the internal wall surface of the bulb to form a thin film can be prevented, and thus output of the ultraviolet rays can be maintained for a long time.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section of a metal vapor discharge lamp
  • Fig. 2 shows characteristic curves demonstrating high % output retention achieved according to this invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a metal vapor discharge lamp with a rated power of 4 KW to be used as a light source for curing paints or inks.
  • This metal vapor discharge lamp has a tubular quartz bulb 1 with an internal diameter of 22 mm, and a pair of electrodes 2,2 disposed therein to oppose each other with a distance of 250 mm therebetween.
  • the bulb 1 has a sealed portion 11 at each end, and a molybdenum foil 3 is sealed therein, which connects the corresponding electrode 2 with an outer lead 4.
  • the bulb 1 In the bulb 1 are filled 120 mg of a metal mercury (Hg), 13 mg of mercury iodide (Hg2I2), 3.5 mg of iron (Fe), 1.1 mg of thallium iodide (TlI) and 30 mmHg of xenon gas.
  • Hg metal mercury
  • Hg2I2 mercury iodide
  • Fe iron
  • TlI thallium iodide
  • the amount of thallium to be incorporated relative to iron is 1/19 in terms of gram atom number ratio.
