The second component, Ultra-Red fluorescing technology, is said to enhance bond-line inspection processes and product authentication. The adhesive remains clear until exposed to low-intensity UV light, at which point they fluoresce bright red. This is particularly effective when bonding plastics that naturally fluoresce blue, such as PVC and PET. Ultra-Red technology also produces a unique spectral signature that can be used by manufacturers for product authentication.
The new product offers manufacturers improved efficiencies from rapid on-demand curing with easy cure confirmation and post-cure bond-line inspection, it says.
