Introduction
Master
Bond's dual curing compounds cure both upon exposure to UV light and heat.
These adhesives, sealants, and coatings are applied to assemblies where complete
UV curing is difficult or impossible to achieve, such as applications with
complex geometries and concealed areas. In applications with both optically
opaque and transparent components, a dual cure system exhibits clear advantages
over both UV and heat curable adhesives. It allows for curing in “shadowed out”
areas at low temperatures. In surface mounting applications, a dual curing
adhesive allows the manufacturer to fix the product in place with UV exposure
and complete the bond with the addition of heat.
Master Bond Dual Curing Adhesives Provide Easy Application and
Fast Curing
Master
Bond offers one component dual curing adhesives that require no mixing
whatsoever. The exposed areas of these compounds can cure in as little as a few
seconds when UV light is applied, and the hidden areas cure in about 20 minutes
upon exposure to heat. These cures are not inhibited by air and no solvents or
vapors are released in the curing process. Master Bond's
dual curing systems create strong bonds with metals, plastics, ceramics, glass,
rubbers, and paper. Furthermore, special dual curing adhesives can cure in
section thicknesses up to 1/4”.
