UV Light Curing Adhesives for
Automotive Headlamp Assembly

Low outgassing,  solvent-free, UV light curing adhesives for automotive headlamp assembly cure in seconds and provide in-line cure for immediate quality control inspection. They are ideal for bonding lenses to reflector housings and vent hole sealing.  These one-part resins are easy to dispense resulting in minimal material waste. With low shrinkage characteristics that resist harsh environments and withstand high temperatures, these adhesives form strong structural bonds to glass, metal, plastic and difficult to bond substrates. High strength gap filling allows for smaller bond areas and larger reflective surfaces for brighter headlamps.

Case History:
Switching from sonic welding to a DYMAX adhesive slashed reject rates from 40% to nil. The adhesive filled gaps between the plastic reflector and lens that had caused the headlamps to leak.  The low outgassing properties of the resin resulted in the headlamps being brighter.
