Light Cure Materials for Medical Product Assembly

Dymax MD^® and 2000 MW medical adhesives and coatings cure in seconds upon exposure to LED or UV/Visible light for fast assembly of medical devices and components. The materials are solvent-free and pass ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards. In addition, some reach top tier standards and are developed without known skin sensitizing materials including IBOA as well as other materials of concern.

The light-curable products form clear, high-strength bonds to metal, medical plastics, and glass, as well as UV-inhibited and tinted plastics. In addition, several medical-grade adhesives and materials are formulated with Encompass^® technology, using colored and fluorescing materials to confirm proper material placement, in-line inspection, and cure.
