Which UV Adhesives work with our UV Lights?

If you’re wondering whether another brand’s UV adhesive will work with your EvLo UV Light, here are the key things to look for to ensure proper curing and safe application.
1. Check the Wavelength
Your adhesive must cure at 395–405 nm.
That’s the wavelength range our lights are engineered for.
If a glue requires a lower or higher range, it will not fully cure.
2. Confirm It Uses a Compatible Photoinitiator
Most UV lash glues use TPO, BAPO or TMO photoinitiators.
If the adhesive uses a different curing agent or a system outside the 395–405 nm range, it may cure slowly—or not at all.
3. Watch for Proper Cure Behavior
Your UV light is likely compatible if:
- The adhesive cures instantly
- There is no sliding or tackiness
- There’s no white frosting
- Retention is strong and consistent
If you notice slow curing, inconsistent retention, or stickiness, it’s a sign the wavelengths don’t match.
4. When It’s Not Compatible
If the glue was designed for a lower-wavelength device (such as 365–385 nm) or a higher-wavelength system outside the 395–405 nm range, it will not fully cure under our light.
This can lead to:
- Slow or incomplete curing
- Weak retention
- White frosting
- Potential safety concerns
If you’re unsure about a specific adhesive, feel free to contact us with the brand and specs—we’re happy to help you check.
Stay safe & stay UV 💜
