Pre-activated epoxy adhesive technology

An adhesive technology from Henkel Corp. is said to combine the advantages of epoxy and light cure chemistries, but works on colored and opaque substrates such as metals, plastics, glass and ceramics that cannot transmit light.

The process starts by dispensing Loctite Pre-Activated Epoxy adhesive directly onto an opaque part. Expose the part to UV light at 254 to 365 nm for 5 to 60 s and assemble the two substrates. The light activates the adhesive, which cures to fixture strength in minutes and reaches full cure in hours at room temperature. Single component, medium viscosity Loctite 3355 requires no mixing and shrinks <0.7% during cure.

The acid-free, low outgassing formulation will not corrode or contaminate sensitive components including electronics. Optional heat cure capability speeds full cure to minutes at 60?C.
