PLastics

Light Cure Adhesives for Plastics

Plastic bonding adhesives can be cured by UV and visible light and achieve low stress, ultra clear bonds, making them particularly suitable for bonding modern plastics.

Transparency equal to the plastic substrate obtains invisible bond lines

Temperature resistance and deformation behaviour match that of plastics, providing for a high degree of long-term durability

Capable of bonding transparent plastics, e.g. PC, acrylic, PBT, PVC and plasticised PVC, most opaque plastics, e.g. PA, as well as most non-transparent or coloured plastics

Various light cure technologies for adaptation to the wavelengths passing through clear or UV-stabilised or translucent pigmented plastics

Applications:

Bonding and sealing of housing assemblies, lids, shells, windows into frames, sunglasses …

Display cases and shelves, point of sale material, …

Medical device industry – needles, housings, adapters, connectors, …
