UV adhesives used in glass bonding applications must meet specific requirements to ensure a strong and reliable bond between glass substrates. Here are the key requirements for UV adhesives in glass bonding:
- Transparency and clarity: UV adhesives must cure to form a clear and transparent bond line, as they are often used in applications where aesthetics and visibility are crucial.
- UV light transmission: The adhesive should allow sufficient UV light to pass through to ensure complete curing of the adhesive in the bond line, even in areas with limited access to light.
- Fast curing: UV adhesives should cure rapidly upon exposure to UV light, allowing for quick assembly and increased production efficiency.
- Low shrinkage: Minimal shrinkage during curing is essential to prevent stress on the glass substrates, which could lead to bond failure.
