Vitralit® UV and Light Curing Adhesives

Vitralit^® is the brand for UV or LED-UV curable adhesives from Hoenle (formerly Panacol). Vitralit^®adhesives 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. Vitralit^®adhesives allow processing and bonding of temperature sensitive substrates.

Dual Cure UV adhesives

To achieve a successful cure with UV adhesives, at least one of the substrates must be transparent to UV light, allowing the radiation to penetrate the material and activate the adhesive. Materials such as glass, certain plastics, and transparent polymers are particularly suitable for UV bonding processes.

For shadowed areas, dual cure uv adhesives are the best option: these Vitralit^® products combine fast UV curing with a secondary curing mechanism, such as moisture, heat, or anaerobic curing, ensuring reliable bonding even in shadowed areas where UV light cannot reach.

Advantages of UV and light curing Vitralit^® adhesives:

Easy to handle: 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 and LED curing
All Vitralit^®adhesives are solvent free
Large product portfolio: from low to high viscosity and from transparent to coloured
Medical grade adhesives: Our medical portfolio comprises specially formulated Vitralit^®adhesives which are certified according to DIN ISO 10993 or USP Class VI

Our comprehensive range of Vitralit^® UV and light curing adhesives covers a multitude of applications and offers many benefits. Vitralit^® systems are currently used in many industries and markets around the world. To maximize process efficiency, Hoenle offers compatible UV and LED curing systems.

The UV adhesives of the Vitralit^®series are available in convenient packaging sizes
