• Applications that require substrates with different coefficients of thermal expansion

Features

• Cure on demand
• High shear strength
• Fast curing with low-power lamps
• 100% solids, no solvents
• Excellent adhesion to plastics

Biocompatibility

• ISO 10993 – 5 Cytotoxicity

Hot Strength

Surface Preparation

• Surfaces should be clean, dry and grease-free before applying the adhesive. Use a suitable solvent (such as acetone or isopropanol) for the degreasing of surfaces.
• Some metals such as aluminium, copper and its alloys will benefit from light abrasion with emery cloth (or similar), to remove the oxide layer.

Directions for Use

1. Adhesive can either be applied directly from the bottle or dispensed via automated dispensing equipment for more accurate dosing. Minimise exposure of product to ambient light.
2. It is important to try to prevent air entrapment within the joint as this could be detrimental to the finished appearance of the adhesive.
3. Parts should be firmly held and not disturbed during cure. Expose the joint to ultra-violet light for the appropriate time to ensure full cure. Cure time depends on the power of the UV lamp, its spectral output, the distance between the lamp and the components, and the transmission characteristics of the substrates.
