MD® Multi-Purpose UV Curing Adhesives
Substrate Bonding Guide for Medical Plastics & Materials

UV Light curing and fluorescing medical device adhesives significantly reduce your assembly processing costs. The DYMAX MD® "1000" series resins cure upon exposure to ultraviolet and visible light, resulting in cure time reductions up to 50%. UV/visible light curing technology permits bonding of UV inhibited and tinted plastics. In-line inspection of the adhesive bond line is made possible with patented ultra-fluorescing chemistry.  DYMAX UV adhesives glow brightly when exposed to a low intensity "black light" and enhance the function of automated vision equipment for high speed, high volume production.  MD medical device adhesives are ideal for bonding a wide variety of substrates found in catheter, anesthesia mask, needle, syringe, transducer, IV tube set, reservoir and medical optical applications.
