Master Bond launches UV15X-6Med-2LV, a UV curable, non-cytotoxic adhesive that features optical clarity and abrasion resistance. The adhesive can be utilized for bonding, sealing, coating, and encapsulating purposes. UV15X-6Med-2LV has a high degree of flexibility with an elongation that exceeds 100 percent and a low tensile modulus of 20,000-50,000 psi at room temperature.
Thermal Cycling & Mechanical Shock Resistant
The flexibility allows the adhesive to withstand extreme thermal cycling and mechanical shock without inducing stress on components/parts. The adhesive bonds well to similar and dissimilar substrates including glass, metals and plastics.
UV15X-6Med-2LV is a one-part system that cures upon exposure to a UV light source emitting at a wavelength of 320 to 365 nm with an energy output as low as 20-40 milliwatts/cm2. The adhesive can cure in as little as 10 to 30 seconds, and in sections up to quarter inch. A successful curing process entails complete exposure to the UV light source, for this reason there should be no shadows or UV blocking agents in the substrates used. As a one-part system, UV15X-6Med-2LV requires no mixing prior to use.
Electrically Insulative with Volume Resistivity
The compound has a medium viscosity of 20,000-40,000 cps and is not oxygen inhibited. It is electrically insulative with a volume resistivity of more than 1012 ohm-cm at room temperature. UV15X-6Med-2LV has a refractive index of 1.50. It is serviceable over the temperature range of -80°F to +250°F.
Since UV15X-6Med-2LV meets the ISO 10993-5 certification it can be used in medical device manufacturing applications where this requirement is vital. The adhesive has good resistance to water, cleaning agents, e-beam, ethylene oxide and gamma radiation. Packaging is available in syringes, half pint, pint, quart and gallon sizes.
