UV-cured adhesives bond fast

UV-curable adhesives adhere to a variety of substrates for fast, simple, and cost-effective bonding. The single-part adhesives cure within seconds of exposure to ultra-violet light, ensuring accurate alignment of components for bonding glass furniture, cabinets, and tiny electrical parts on high-speed production lines. They provide maximum optical clarity and do not yellow. The adhesives come in a wide range of viscosities to suit the gap fill requirements of the joint, and are high-strength and durable. Options include flexible, shock, and impact-resistant grades.
