Increase Productivity with UV-Cure, Anaerobic Acrylic Adhesive

UV-curing anaerobic acrylic adhesives offer many benefits, namely excellent adhesive strength, low stress and very fast uv-cure in only a few seconds, resulting in very short cycle times and high productivity in a two step curing process. Techsil are now launching in the UK the new "Vitralit® 4282-2" adhesive which boasts a uv-curing system combined with an anaerobic acrylic bond that can be used for filling, bonding, threadlocking and retaining. The uv feature allows assembly of parts with instant, on-demand handling with a uv-cure time of just 10 seconds. The shadow areas will then cure anaerobically to form high-strength, durable bonds. Due to its excellent chemical and environmental resistance, it has become a popular solution with automotive manufacturers for sealing seams and filling pinholes in metal surfaces created by machining processes, such as laser-welding or brazing for example. Techsil supply a range of UV and light-curing adhesives that can be used in a multitude of applications. These ranges of UV curing adhesives can be used with a wide variety of substrates such as plastics, glass, and metals and are used extensively in many sectors such as: electronics, medical equipment, glass bonding, and optics. The main range is Vitralit® from Panacol which are all single component adhesives that cure within the space of a few minutes. These adhesives are highly suited to high volume small component manufacturing. Panacol is an internationally active provider in the growth market for industrial adhesives, with an extensive product range from UV adhesives through structural adhesives to silicones.
