DYMAX Light-Weld Long Wave Ultraviolet
Glass Bonding Adhesives
cure rapidly when exposed to long wave ultraviolet light. Long-wave ultraviolet light is light with a wavelength of 365 nanometers. |
 |
| DYMAX Multi-Cure Adhesives cure when exposed to either ultraviolet light or a chemical activator. This provides the flexibility to use one adhesive which will cure under long wave ultraviolet light or, when the light cannot reach the adhesive for one reason or another, to use another chemical to set off the reaction. Typically, the activator is brushed on one surface, the adhesive is applied to the other surface, and the parts are pressed together. The activator meets the adhesive and the reaction is set off. |
|
| DYMAX Ultra Light-Weld Visible Light Curing Glass Bonding Adhesives are identical to the standard ultraviolet curing adhesives except they have an additional "initiator" (the substance that causes the reaction to occur when the adhesive is exposed to light) in it. This is a visible light initiator that reacts when exposed to light with a wavelength of 406 nanometers (a part of the visible light spectrum). |
|
| DYMAX Ultra Light-Weld adhesives still have the ultraviolet initiator in them and cure when exposed to long wave ultraviolet light alone. However, when exposed to ultraviolet light they cure extremely quickly, often in a matter of seconds. Further, although they cure relatively more slowly when exposed to 406 nm light alone, this capability allows them to cure even if the UV-A light is blocked, perhaps by a color of translucent glass which absorbs long-wave UV. |
