Key Features • Good physical strength properties • Low shrinkage upon curing • Cationic curing system, no oxygen inhibition • Passes NASA low outgassing tests Master Bond UV16 is a low viscosity, high strength epoxy based UV curable system for bonding, sealing and coating. It is 100% reactive and does not contain any solvents or other volatiles. It also exhibits no oxygen inhibition. UV16 will cure quickly and easily when exposed to a UV light source with a wavelength range between 320-365 nm, with the optimum at 365 nm. The energy required is typically 20-40 milliwatts per cm². UV16 is highly reactive and will cure exceptionally fast when exposed to UV light. The rate of cure depends upon the distance of the light from the material being cured, the thickness of the section and the intensity of the light source. It typically cures in thicknesses of 0.001-0.002 inches up to 0.120 inches. Thinner sections will cure in a few seconds while thicker sections will normally cure in 30-60 seconds. UV16 has excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals including water, acids, bases, fuels and many solvents. It has superb physical strength characteristics and electrical insulation properties. UV16 has superior adhesion to a wide variety of substrates including plastics, glass and many metals. UV16 has stellar optical clarity and light transmission properties.
