High-performance UV-curable adhesives
Highly durable, transparent when cured, and easy to manage, the Born2Bond™ UV-Acrylic LC Series can be used with metals, glass, and plastics, including ABS and PMMA.
Non-toxic and solvent-free, the range can be dispensed using a wide variety of equipment and methods. Patented Nanostrength® technology developed by Bostik’s parent company, Arkema, ensures greater impact resistance and elongation properties while gap filling, low shrinkage, and non-cracking properties further enhance performance. This is supported by
a low exothermic reaction during formation which reduces the risk of mechanical stress that could otherwise damage the substrates.
FEATURES
- Low shrinkage and non-cracking properties
- Transparent after cure (non-yellowing)
- Highly durable – impact, chemical and temperature resistance, with low water absorption
- Multi-substrate adhesion (metals, glass and plastics, including ABS and PMMA)
- Gap filling properties
- Wide UV wavelength range (between 365 and 405nm)
- High elongation
- Can be dispensed using a wide variety of equipment and methods
- Low exothermic reaction during formation (<50°C)
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Luxury goods (e.g. perfume and cosmetics packaging, jewelry, watches)
- Electronics (e.g. PCB assembly, coating, encapsulation)
- Automotive (e.g. ADAS)
- General assemble (e.g. plastic and glass parts bonding)
