X=Good to excellent adhesion
O=Fair to good adhesion
()=Indicates improvement with surface treatment
Optimal curing of DYMAX UV adhesives requires a light source with peak intensity at 365 nm. Our light curing adhesives will also absorb visible light at 410-440 nm from the same light source for deeper and faster curing through UV inhibited or semi-opaque substrates.
Recommendations should be used as a guide for evaluation and laboratory testing of particular substrate grades and applications.
