What adhesive should I use to bond a polyurethane tube to an ABS adapter?

“Can you recommend the most appropriate UV-curable adhesive to bond ABS connectors to polyurethane tubing in a medical device application? It is a polyether aromatic polyurethane tube to a transparent ABS connector.”

 

For this type of application I suggest trying DYMAX 1161-M. This adhesive cures with UV and visible light and exhibits good adhesion to ABS and PUR. It also fluoresces blue for quality purposes. If you are interested in See-Cure patented color-change technology, I would recommend DYMAX See-Cure 1201-M-SC. This product is blue and helps verify that enough adhesive has been dispensed. Upon exposure to UV/visible light, the adhesive turns clear to confirm complete cure.
