UV & Visible Light Curing
Plastic Bonding Adhesives
- Bond in seconds
- Environmentally friendly
- UV and visible light curing adhesives
Description
DYMAX UV Light Curing Plastic Bonding Adhesives cure in seconds
upon exposure to ultraviolet light and/or visible light,
even through UV blocked plastics. A solvent-free, worker-friendly plastic
adhesive forms high-strength, environmentally resistant bonds to plastics
and other substrates, including polycarbonate, PVC, phenolic, acrylic (PMMA),
metal, glass and ceramic. Because plastic adhesives bond so many different
substrates, they are exceptional adhesives for bonding dissimilar materials,
something that cannot be done with traditional welding methods and other
types of adhesives. Typical UV plastic adhesive applications include display
case construction, automotive headlamp assembly, novelty bonding, sign
assembly, adhering light fixtures and awards and plastic package assembly.

Clear, low viscosity UV cured adhesive produces clear, bubble-free bondlines. Can be cured with the DYMAX BlueWave LED |
| See-Cure Adhesive Technology | ||
| DYMAX 3220-SC | Bonding and laminating plastics including PVC, PC, ABS, PET, PEBA, and PU | See-Cure adhesives appear blue when dispensed and become clear when fully cured. This allows users to know where the adhesive has been applied, as well as if the adhesive is fully cured; flexible |
| DYMAX 3221-SC | Bonding and laminating plastics including PMMA, PVC, PC, PU, PA, PET, and ABS | See-Cure adhesives appear blue when dispensed and become clear when fully cured. This allows users to know where the adhesive has been applied, as well as if the adhesive is fully cured; flexible; multi-substrate adhesion |
| DYMAX 3222-SC | Appliance assembly; plastics lamination; metal-to-plastic bonding; bond joint & sealing; plastic window bonding. PC, PMMA, PVC, PU, PA, metals, glass | See-Cure adhesives appear blue when dispensed and become clear when fully cured. This allows users to know where the adhesive has been applied, as well as if the adhesive is fully cured; flexible; multi-substrate adhesion |
| DYMAX 3224-SC | Industrial plastics bonding; film laminating; strain relief; connectors and hoses | See-Cure adhesives appear blue when dispensed and become clear when fully cured.

| This guide represents only a small portion of the DYMAX adhesive library. Call us to help you select the appropriate adhesive for your specific application. Optimal curing of DYMAX UV adhesives requires a light source with peak intensity at 365 nm. Our light curing adhesives will also absorb visible light at 410-440 nm from the same light source for deeper and faster curing through UV inhibited or semi-opaque substrates. Recommendations should be used as a guide for evaluation and laboratory testing of particular substrate grades and applications. | ||||||||||||||||
