Very low extractables medical device adhesive withstands cleaning and sterilisation

Dymax 1045-M medical device adhesive was specifically formulated for the assembly of glass pre-fillable syringes, pen injectors, auto injectors, wearable injectors, and single-use devices. This very low extractables adhesive provides strong bonds that withstand the harsh cleaning and sterilisation processes pre-filled syringes undergo. Dymax 1045-M is also optimised to cure with LED UV light, providing […]

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 […]

Ultra-Red Adhesives for high contrast bond-line inspection and product verification

We are persuading our customers to “see red” literally. The Ultra-Red™ fluorescing technology built into many Dymax adhesives offers assemblers concrete advantages in plastics fabrication. Many plastics naturally fluoresce blue under UV light – this minimizes the inspection advantages of using blue-fluorescing adhesives in parts assembly. Ultra-Red™ fluorescing adhesives remain naturally clear until exposed to […]
