Understanding Photopolymer The Process and Benefits

Drying

STEP 4

Dry the moisture off the material. The photopolymer and the base PETG does not absorb moisture during the washout - drying is to evaporate any standing moisture left on the sheet.

Post Exposure

STEP 5

Post exposure is a second exposure to fully cure, harden and activate the photpolymer. This is the final step in processing photopolymer.

PHOTOPOLYMER SIGNSHOW TO MAKE

5 Easy Steps

Contact With Flim Negative

STEP 1

The first step is to place a high density film negative on top of the photopolymer sheet.

Note: This shows how the Braille will appear after the top coating.

Exposure with UV Light

STEP 2

There is a bank of UV lamps that shine down and pass through the clear areas of the film negative and expose the photopolymer material.

Wash in Plain Tap Water

STEP 3

The unexposed photopolymer gets washed away during the washout process in plain tap water.

The photopolymer effluent is 100% biodegrad-able and goes right down the drain. You are left with the exposed raised images.
