UV adhesive for hard-to-bond plastics

With 450 to 650mPas Vitralit UV 4050 MV is of medium viscosity. When cured it is said to show good flexibility and an excellent stability. This transparent adhesive has a low shrinkage of only 2%.

If at least one assembly material is transparent, Vitralit UV 4050 MV will cure very quickly to produce a strong and reliable bond. UV blocked materials such as polycarbonate can be cured due to the adhesive’s ability to cure with visible light (>400nm).

The product cures in seconds with UV-A and visible light. Both gas discharge lamps and LEDs are suitable to use for curing. The company says excellent curing results have been achieved with LED lights with a wavelength of 405nm. Vitralit UV 4050 MV is currently being tested according to USP Class VI and DIN ISO 10993-4/-5 standards for use in medical applications.

Vitralit UV 4050 MV is manufactured by Panacol, Techsil’s UV adhesives partner.
