DELO recently announced that it has developed light-curing epoxy resins that create new possibilities for liquid additive manufacturing.

You need to look at so-called “shadow curing” options. Most UV-cured systems are based on acrylates and methacrylates and cure free-radically by the decomposition of a photoinitiator.

Panacol recently announced that it has launched Vitralit UC 1536, a low-halogen UV adhesive for the electronics industry.

This first installment of a two-part series highlights the value proposition of today's adhesive chemistries and curing methods to high-value end-use markets.

Whether it be rain, snow, sleet, or hail, outdoor lighting is fully exposed to the elements. Adhesives help outdoor lighting remain sustainable and well-functioning with permanent bonds and reliable sealing. In a residential neighborhood, seeing and being seen begins in the driveway. LED floodlights not only light the way for us and our cars, but also act as a deterrent to uninvited guests.

A new orange fluorescent UV adhesive from Panacol is reportedly specially formulated for bonding plastics.

Adhesive and coating systems that use ultraviolet (UV) or visible light to begin the curing are intrinsically very attractive systems to the manufacturing engineer, allowing assembly of components and then “curing on command” by exposing to the radiation.

Personnel from Sartomer, a business line of Arkema, will introduce materials solutions that reportedly advance the performance of energy-cured adhesives, 3D printing parts, inks, specialty coatings, and nail gels at RadTech Europe.

At this year’s Bondexpo, which will be held October 7-10 in Stuttgart, Germany, Panacol will present Vitralit UC 1535, a new transparent adhesive specifically designed for use in electronics.

Panacol has developed Vitralit^® 50004, a new optically clear adhesive.
