Photo-initiated curing epoxy adhesive
UV18S/UV15 Master Bond

Master Bond photoinitiated adhesives are part of a fast growing family of one component UV curable adhesive systems for high performance coatings, adhesives, sealants, potting and encapsulation. These UV and EB radiation curing adhesives include polyurethanes, epoxies, polyesters and acrylics. UV adhesive grades vary in thicknesses, hardness, chemical resistance, strength, clarity, etc. When exposed to a suitable UV light source, UV curable compounds usually cure in a matter of seconds. The Master Bond UV cure products are not oxygen inhibited and cure at ambient temperatures. Environmentally friendly, they are 100% reactive liquids which do not contain any solvents or other volatiles. Upon cure they exhibit minimal shrinkage. Additionally, they are strong, durable, and offer superior temperature and chemical resistance. If required, special formulations can be developed to best meet specific product application and performance needs. One new "dual cure" adhesive compound can be cured by exposure to either UV light or heat.
Master Bond UV curable coatings and adhesives are one component systems and require no mixing. They have a long shelf life when stored at ambient temperatures in the absence of UV light. They have excellent bond strength to metals, ceramics, many plastics and most rubbers. UV curing sealants adhesives and encapsulants are particularly suitable for automated continuous manufacturing processes because of their fast cure speeds.
