Halogen drying

Drying process, which utilises the wave range of infrared radiation

Principle and application

The name halogen drying refers to the principle of generating and using radiation.

Halogen lamps operate according to the tungsten halogen cycle (tungsten wire surrounded by iodine in a glass tube, reversible process) and deliver a white light as well as a high light yield in comparison to standard incandescent lamps, which can be filled with a nitrogen-argon mixture or an inert gas.

The term "hologen" refers to the chemical element iodine, which belongs to the 7th main group of halogens in the periodic system.

The manufacturer A.H.OTT KG/ OTT-TenTec GmbH from Baierbrunn/Upper Bavaria offers this principle under the name "Halogen drying", for example for drying processes in furniture construction, in a range of performance classes and types. The halogen drying process is used for example in conventional paints, such as water-based paint, DD coatings, nitro lacquers and polyester paints, etc.
