DYMAX MD 1000 series medical device adhesives make high-speed, high-volume bonding of medical device housings, tube sets, catheters, enclosures and housings possible. These solvent-free adhesives replace ultrasonic welding applications and costly two-part products. They are USP Class VI and ISO 10993 certified, moisture and humidity resistant, leave no residue and are available in gap-filling viscosities. Designed for plastic joints utilizing overlaps, flanges, or tabs, these adhesives cure to give a very strong bond.

The adhesives are designed to cure with ultraviolet and visible light-emitting lamps. The new BlueWave LED visible light, high-intensity spot-curing system generates light using an array of surface-mount light-emitting diodes) instead of traditional metal halide or mercury bulbs. The LEDs produce visible light energy in a relatively narrow wavelength band centered at 410 nm instead of a typical broad-band, high-pressure UV bulb (300-500 nm). This system emits a maximum visible light intensity output of over 2,500 mW/cm2 from an 8 mm diameter lightguide and allows users to adjust intensity output from 0% to 100%.
