UV-curable adhesives

UV adhesives cure under the influence of UV radiation of the appropriate wavelength and intensity, for example, using a UV lamp characterized by a broad spectrum of light or UV LED lighting equipment. This product is solvent-free, emphasizing its environmentally friendly nature.

This type of adhesive is a polymer that utilizes ultraviolet light to initiate and commence the curing process. The curing process itself is a chemical reaction that begins when the appropriate UV adhesive is used and exposed to ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength, causing the photoinitiators to cleave. The result of this process is the transition of the UV adhesive from a liquid to a solid state, creating a permanent bond.

UV lamp-activated adhesives encompass a wide range of chemical substances and viscosities, including epoxy and acrylic. UV adhesive is also used as glass and windshield adhesive, for metal, glass with metals, plastics, plexiglass (for transparent plastics such as PVC, PUR, PET). The curing speed can be adjusted for different applications, and the required curing time can be regulated by changing the UV light intensity.

At Power Rubber, you can find specialized industrial adhesives that will allow you to permanently bond various types of surfaces.

UV glue is a versatile adhesive that requires a UVA ultraviolet light activator for curing. UV glue is characterized by exceptional advantages and properties such as:

• resilience and durability in extreme temperatures
• durability and reliability in challenging conditions
• bond between joined elements forms within a few seconds (from 5 to 30 seconds)
• transparency (high level of transparency)
• bonds with high strength
• do not cure until exposed to light - allowing for surface leveling of elements before bonding
• non-flammable (does not contain solvents)
• does not require mixing
• moisture-resistant
• fills all gaps, cracks, surface irregularities
• low risk of forming bubbles (no substances responsible for their formation are released)
• environmentally friendly

Adhesives that cure as a result of UV and visible light exposure are a more environmentally friendly solution for both the environment and workers than using solvents.

UV-cured adhesive is a type of industrial adhesive that provides fast curing and bonding using UV rays. It is most commonly used for bonding glass or plastics (e.g. PVC, PMMA) together, as well as with metals or other surfaces.

UV adhesives are used in various industries:

• medical devices (syringes, blood filters), the adhesive is DIN ISO 10993 certified
• dental devices
• aviation
• electronics
• optical fibers
• inkjet printing
• product labeling
• ammunition production
• glass products
• artistic glass

During exposure, it is recommended to wear UV-filtered protective clothing and eyewear, and avoid direct exposure to the eyes.
Power Rubber offers a wide range of rubber products, technical equipment, as well as specialized industrial adhesives of various densities and viscosities.
