Epoxies, Etc… Develops NewUV Curable Adhesive & Potting Compound (read more)

One of the fastest growing segments in the paint and coatings industry is ultraviolet (UV) processing to cure or dry a coating on wood, metal or plastic products. Ultraviolet cure coating — also known as UV cure coating — is increasingly used in place of conventional high heat processing to produce coatings with improved properties, cut the overall cost of coating operations...

Master Bond UV10DCTK is a UV or heat curable modified epoxy resin system for high performance surface mount applications. It has been developed to solve a quality control problem with shadowed areas in UV curing systems. Having an alternative thermal curing mechanism, i.e. heat cure, greatly enhances the utility of UV curing technology by extending its applicability to opaque assemblies. (read more)

UV Cure 60-7107 is a one-component ultraviolet (UV) curable encapsulant, adhesive and coating. This is an electronic grade material designed for applications requiring a low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE). This product has excellent dielectric properties, high chemical and thermal stability. This system is 100% solids and has the ability to shadow or heat cure. (read more)

Hernon's Ultra-Cure ultraviolet irradiators are designed for conveyor, tabletop or optional tripod mounting. Ultra-Cure systems are available in either focused or non-focused optical configurations, in three wattages: 1000, 1600 and 2400 watts. Irradiators operate on 120 volt 60Hz. Grounded electrical source. Ultra-Cure 500F at 300 WPI operates at 220 volt 60Hz. (read more)

Master Bond manufactures custom made UV and light cure adhesives. A recent custom formulation UV18Med, features a tensile strength >950 psi., superior chemical resistance and electrical insulation. UV18Med forms tough bonds, adheres to a wide range of substrates, has low shrinkage, has a service operating temperature range of -80°F to +250°F, cures in < 1 minute, and viscosity is 1,800-2,000 cps.

Permabond UV Light Curable Adhesives are single part, solvent-free, cure on demand adhesives suitable for a wide range of applications. Upon exposure to UV light of the proper intensity and spectral output, these products rapidly cure to form excellent bonds to a wide variety of substrates such as metals, glass and most plastics. (read more)

Until now, adhesives that cure upon exposure to purely visible light have been a fantasy. For manufacturers, a truly visible light cure adhesive would eliminate exposure to UV rays, generate less heat, minimize equipment costs and requirements, and reduce maintenance costs. (read more)

The Light-Welder® 5000 series of flood lamps are UV/visible light sources designed for high intensity, rapid curing of UV/visible adhesives and coatings. The units deliver concentrated light primarily in the UV-A range (320-390 nm wavelength) to achieve maximum cure depths and "tack free" cures, typically in 10 to 30 seconds. (read more)
