		<description><![CDATA[Dymax 1161-M could be a good candidate for adhering a soft PVC tube to a PC connector in a sterile tubsest application. This adhesive is solvent free, resistant to EtO, Gamma or Beta sterilization, and passes ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing. Via UV and visible light, the adhesive cures on demand within seconds using Dymax UV light-curing equipment.]]></description>

&#8220;How can I reverse adhesive crystallization? Will the adhesive be compromised in any way?&#8221;
&#160;
Only a very small number of adhesives are susceptible to crystallization and the likelihood of this phenomenon actually occurring is slight. If you do experience crystallization, heat will reverse the process and restore the adhesive to its liquid state with no loss [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few thickened adhesives (VT and GEL grades) occasionally exhibit syneresis.  Syneresis appears as a thin film or puddles of low-viscosity adhesive on top of the thicker adhesive.  The composition of the low-viscosity syneresis liquid is chemically identical to the thickened material.  It has the same chemical and bonding properties but the viscosity is much lower.]]></description>
