Vitralit®: UV and Light Curing Adhesives

Vitralit^® UV adhesives and potting compounds are single component systems based on acrylate or epoxy resin foundations. They cure under UV or visible light within seconds. Curing times of 0.5 to 60 seconds can be achieved with high intensity UV gas discharge lamps or LED systems, making the Vitralit^® adhesives the perfect choice for high volume production. The short exposure times allow processing and bonding of temperature sensitive substrates.

For shadowed areas, dual cure uv adhesives are the best option: depending on the adhesive, the Vitralit^® products can be, after exposure to uv light, postcured with a second curing mechanism: thermally, with moisture or anaerobic.

UV and light curing Vitralit^® adhesives simplify handling and dispensing processes. A wide range of viscosities, from capillary flow to gap filling, are available. They provide the perfect solution for every individual application. All Vitralit^® UV and light curing adhesives are solvent free and environmentally safe.

Advantages of UV and light curing Vitralit^® adhesives:

• Easy to handle: curing on demand, no mixing of components necessary, no pot life limits
• Fast curing times allow high volume production in automated production lines
• Low energy costs due to short curing times
• Solvent free
• Large product portfolio: from low to high viscosity and from transparent to coloured
• Medical grade adhesives: Specially formulated and DIN ISO 10993 or USP Class VI certified
