UV/Visible light curable plastic bonding adhesives cure in seconds upon exposure to ultraviolet light and/or visible light, even through UV-blocked plastics. A solvent-free, worker-friendly plastic adhesive from DYMAX forms high-strength, environmentally resistant bonds to plastics and other substrates, including polycarbonate, PVC, phenolic, acrylic, metal, glass, and ceramic. DYMAX plastic adhesives bond many different substrates making them exceptional adhesives for bonding dissimilar materials, something that cannot be done with traditional welding methods and other types of adhesives.

Typical applications include appliance assembly, plastic structural assembly, aerospace in-cabin applications, automotive trim bonding, display case construction, automotive headlamp assembly, novelty bonding, sign assembly, adhering light fixtures, awards, and plastic-package assembly. The substrate selector guide below shows some popular plastic, metal, and non-metal substrates that DYMAX UV/Visible light-curable plastic adhesives bond to.
