Best cyanoacrylate adhesive for shallow potting, encapsulation and bridge bonding
In applications where the adhesive is at least partly exposed (not completely interfacial), Born2Bond LightLock is worth evaluating. It is a hybrid cyanoacrylate adhesive that reacts to UV light to cure, making it a solid choice for bondline squeeze-out, electronics encapsulation or shallow potting, and bridge bonding applications like wire tacking. LightLock doesn’t require activators […]

UV curing intensity – check your distance
A fundamental element of achieving the correct dose of UV light is ensuring the intensity of your UV curing lamp is understood. UV curing intensity as noted on a lamp’s data sheet is typically measured from a particular distance, so if your lamp is not set up to the same distance as the data sheet […]

White Paper: Sustainability benefits of LED UV curing
LED UV curing lamps are swiftly gaining popularity as a replacement for mercury arc lamps. Their rise in use reflects their process benefits, such as instant on/off and consistent intensity for thousands of hours. In addition to these, there are environmental advantages at play, such as reduced energy consumption, decreasing a business’ carbon footprint, and […]

White Paper: Moving to UV LED curing, the 365nm myth – a dance between physics and chemistry
Our latest White Paper, entitled Moving to UV LED Curing, the 365nm Myth – A Dance between Physics and Chemistry, discussed the assumptions around using UV LEDs to cure adhesives, coatings, sealants, encapsulants and temporary masking materials. Despite some hints on product data sheets, 365nm may very well not be the best wavelength to pick […]
