About UV Curing Adhesives

UV curing adhesives use ultraviolet (UV) light or other radiation sources to initiate curing and form a permanent bond without heating. They are compatible with substrates made of ceramic, composite material, concrete, fabric, glass, metal, paper, plastic, rubber, or wood. UV curing adhesives use various chemical systems, most of which are polymer-based. Choices include acrylic, epoxy (EP) polybutadiene, polyester, silicone, styrene copolymer, and vinyl. Some UV curing adhesives contain additional modifiers such as fillers, pigments, or chopped fiber reinforcements. Others contain solvent-based adhesive resins which use a volatile organic compound (VOC) to thin or alter viscosity. Typically, solvent-based UV curing adhesives pose greater environmental or regulatory issues.

Products & Services Related to UV Curing Adhesives

Conductive Adhesives and Compounds

Conductive adhesives and compounds provide an electrically and/or thermally conductive path between components.

Conformal Coatings

Conformal coatings encapsulate circuit boards and their electronic components in order to prevent the ingress of moisture, fungus, dust and other environmental contaminants.

Epoxy Adhesives

Epoxy adhesives are chemical compounds for joining components. They require clean surfaces and are valued for their toughness and resistance to chemical and environmental damage.

Gel Elastomers

Gel elastomers are highly viscoelastic polymer gel materials that have excellent shock absorption and damping characteristics. They are available in a variety of material types and grades.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) and Contact Adhesives

Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) and contact adhesives adhere to most surfaces with very slight pressure. They are available in solvent and latex or water-based forms.

Silicone Adhesives and Sealants

Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and a very high temperature resistance (up to 600° F), but lack the strength of other epoxy or acrylic resins.

Thermoplastics and Thermoplastic Materials

Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling.
