Innovative Polycarbonate & Plastic Adhesive Utilises UV and Visible Light!

06/06/2020

Techsil® is excited to be launching the Vitralit® UV 4050 LV into the UK Market. An innovative adhesive developed by German Manufacturers, Panacol, comes with the distinct advantage of ultra low viscosity; making it the perfect choice for very tight bond gaps! Whilst providing excellent adhesion to most plastics like PC, PVC, PS, ABS, SAN it also bonds very well to glass. Furthermore UV 4050 LV is a strong metal glue; adhering extremely well to metal substrates such as stainless steel, steel or aluminum. Vitralit® UV 4050 LV has a unique curing mechanism - working with both UV lamps and visible natural light. This benefit makes the grade ideal for complicated applications; when just one of the assembly materials is transparent Vitralit® UV 4050 LV will cure very quickly and produce a strong, reliable bond. Thanks to its ability to cure with visible light (>400nm) UV 4050 LV easily bonds materials that block ultraviolet light, making it a very worthwhile consideration for polycarbonate bonding and other difficult to bond composites. Vitralit® UV 4050 LV is anticipated to be a big hit in the medical devices sector and is currently being tested according to USP Class VI and DIN ISO 10993-4/-5 standards for use in medical applications by medical equipment manufacturers.
