About UV Curing Adhesives
UV curing adhesives use ultraviolet (UV) light or other radiation sources to initiate curing and form a permanent bond without heating. They are compatible with substrates made of ceramic, composite material, concrete, fabric, glass, metal, paper, plastic, rubber, or wood. UV curing adhesives use various chemical systems, most of which are polymer-based. Choices include acrylic, epoxy (EP) polybutadiene, polyester, silicone, styrene copolymer, and vinyl. Some UV curing adhesives contain additional modifiers such as fillers, pigments, or chopped fiber reinforcements. Others contain solvent-based adhesive resins which use a volatile organic compound (VOC) to thin or alter viscosity. Typically, solvent-based UV curing adhesives pose greater environmental or regulatory issues.
Selecting UV curing adhesives requires an analysis of processing and physical properties, thermal properties, and mechanical properties. Processing and physical properties include gap fill, the spacing or gap between the substrate and adhesive or sealant; and viscosity, a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Use temperature, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) are important thermal properties to consider. Use temperature is the range of temperatures to which products can be exposed without the degradation of structural or other required end-use properties. Thermal conductivity is the linear heat transfer per unit area through a material for a given applied temperature gradient. CFE is the amount of linear expansion or shrinkage that occurs in UV curing adhesives with a change in temperature.
