Rocky Hill, Conn. - March 16, 2006.... The Loctite' Visible Light Cure adhesive line from Henkel Corporation has recently been granted ISO 10993 biocompatibility compliance after passing a rigorous series of biological tests. Loctite Visible Light Cure adhesives rely solely upon the visible light spectrum to deliver safe, efficient, immediate cure for a broad array of medical device assembly applications.
Loctite Visible Light Cure adhesives cure through UV blocking clear and select colored substrates, including translucent variations of blue, purple, gray, white and green. The adhesives in the Loctite Visible Light Cure line offer excellent adhesion to polycarbonate, PVC and ABS, and can be used on needles, syringes, tubing, connectors, hearing aids, fluid collection reservoirs, and designs made with select translucent substrates that will not transmit UV light.
