This has been designed for rapid bonding of a wide variety of plastic and metal substrates, including PC and ABS applications.
Dymax 3401 is said to work fast, “with under 1 second UV/visible light cure using broad spectrum UV or narrow spectrum 385nm LED light, plus secondary moisture activation for complete curing in shadow areas to ensure quick and convenient assembly – which dramatically improves manufacturing efficiency and reduces costs”, says the company. Dymax 3401 is targeted at plastic component assembly, production of appliances; also bonding, sealing or encapsulating of PC and ABS components.
Explained Peter Swanson, MD of Intertronics: “Dual-cure 3401 cures rapidly and reliably under UV with low shrinkage and is moisture and thermally resistant. Post process it fluoresces blue under low intensity black light for easy inline bond inspection.” Dymax 3401 is recommended for substrates including ABS, PC, PCTG, PEI, PETG, PI, PSDU, PVC, brass and glass. It is available for manual dispensing in 30ml syringes or 300ml cartridges and for use on continuous conveyor production lines with automatic dispensing and curing systems.
Swanson will be speaking at the exhibition on ‘Enhancing Productivity with Light Curing Adhesives and Protective Materials’.
