Will uncured adhesive deteriorate properties of cured adhesive?

"We have a segment of uncured adhesive inside a tube encapsulated with the adhesive DYMAX 204-CTH-F-VLV due to UV-opacity of the said tube’s segment. Does contact with uncured adhesive deteriorate properties of cured adhesive?"

 

Unfortunately, yes. Uncured adhesive will attack the bond line and the cured adhesive. The extent of deterioration is dependent on the area and volumes in contact with each other, and the duration of how long they are in contact. We would recommend sealing the tube, or removing the uncured adhesive if possible.
