Adhesives feature blue color prior to curing.

Press Release Summary:



DYMAX adhesives formulated with See-Cure(TM) technology are bright blue in color in uncured condition, making them visible on surface of substrates, in deep wells, or when sandwiched between 2 layers of materials. Adhesives will not permanently stain component surfaces that they contact. Blue color indicates when sufficient light energy has been provided to adhesive bond area to achieve full cure and color fades and turns clear upon full cure.



Original Press Release:



See it Dispense. See it Cure. See the Solution. DYMAX Introduces See-Cure(TM) Technology



If to see is to believe, then DYMAX has developed the world's most persuasive light-curing adhesive technology for industrial assembly processes. See-Cure(TM) technology addresses the two most-often asked questions about light-curing products: How do I know I've dispensed enough adhesive? and How do I know when it is cured?

DYMAX adhesives that are formulated with new See-Cure technology are bright blue in color in the uncured condition. This makes them easy to see on the surface of substrates, in deep wells, or when sandwiched between two layers of materials. The blue-colored See-Cure adhesives will not permanently stain the component surfaces that they contact. Because the blue color is extremely visible, simple vision systems can be incorporated into assembly processes prior to curing in order to easily identify adhesive coverage and profile.

But, See-Cure's blue color is only temporary!

The adhesive's blue color becomes the visible indicator that identifies when sufficient light energy has been provided to the adhesive bond area to achieve full cure. As the adhesive cures, the blue color within the adhesive fades and ultimately turns clear upon full cure.

Representative adhesives formulated with See-Cure technology for use in medical device assembly were subjected to biocompatibility testing. It was verified that the addition of DYMAX See-Cure technology has no affect on the biocompatibility rating of the original adhesive product or on the biocompatibility of the component surfaces.

DYMAX Corporation is a technology-based company specializing in the formulation, manufacture and service of advanced assembly adhesives, coatings, epoxies, masking resins, and UV curing systems.
