Fluorescent Light Curing Cyanoacrylates
Rocky Hill, Conn. - December 23, 2003.... Henkel Loctite Corporation has introduced two fluorescent FLASHCURE(TM) light curing cyanoacrylates designed for the assembly of components where the ability to verify the presence of the applied adhesive is desired. The products are ideal for a wide range of applications in the loudspeaker, appliance, medical, and general assembly industries.
Loctite® FLASHCURE(TM) 4306(TM) light cure adhesive is a low-viscosity product, while Loctite® FLASHCURE(TM) 4307(TM) light cure adhesive is a medium viscosity material. Both adhesives are ISO-10993 compliant, making the products ideal for medical device assembly.
Loctite® brand FLASHCURE(TM) light curing cyanoacrylates offer instant fixture and tack-free surfaces in less than five seconds when exposed to low, medium, or high intensity light. These adhesives cure tack-free without solvent-borne accelerators. They are surface insensitive and extremely versatile, offering excellent adhesion to a wide variety of metals, elastomers, and plastics including polyolefins. Light curing cyanoacrylate technology features a secondary moisture cure mechanism that allows the adhesive to cure in shadowed areas where light cannot reach. Compared to traditional cyanoacrylate adhesives, Loctite® FLASHCURE(TM) 4306(TM) and 4307(TM) light cure adhesives deliver minimal blooming and stress cracking on sensitive substrates such as polycarbonate and acrylic.
