Light Cure Adhesives for Glass

Light cure adhesives offer clear advantages for glass applications and have been the preferred option for many years.

• They achieve high transparency and show excellent stability even after long term ageing in hostile environmental conditions including moisture, sunlight and dishwashers
• Their refractive index matches that of float glass, creating a virtually invisible bond line
• They create high strength bonds on all types of glass including fl oat glass, crystal glass, fibre glass and ceramic glass. They are particularly effective when bonding metal to glass
• The product range goes all the way from high strength grades for structural bonds to highly flexible types for stress absorption within the bond line
• They greatly improve the ease of assembly and range of design options, eliminating the need for drilling holes, or for mechanical fasteners to avoid stress peaks, and achieve a clean, modern design with perfect cosmetic appearance
