UV Cure 60-7107 is a one-component ultraviolet (UV) curable encapsulant, adhesive and coating. This is an electronic grade material designed for applications requiring a low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE). This product has excellent dielectric properties, high chemical and thermal stability. This system is 100% solids and has the ability to shadow or heat cure. (read more)

Master Bond UV10DCTK is a UV or heat curable modified epoxy resin system for high performance surface mount applications. It has been developed to solve a quality control problem with shadowed areas in UV curing systems. Having an alternative thermal curing mechanism, i.e. heat cure, greatly enhances the utility of UV curing technology by extending its applicability to opaque assemblies. (read more)
