Adhesives and Epoxies Q&A
-
In our application, we are looking for a light-curable silicone adhesive that cures within seconds, is not acidic, and does not outgas too much. Do you have suggestions?Answered January 19th, 2011 by Expert:There are a few light-curable silicones on the market that are nonacidic. They cure quickly and exhibit low outgassing properties. One of them is Dymax Cure-Point 9440, a fast-curing UV silicone potting material that adheres to a variety of substrates.
The tensile strength and cohesion strength of most UV silicones on the market is very low, and although they may stick well to substrates, a bonded joint can usually be taken apart easily. The larger the surface area, the more suitable these products are for bonding or lamination applications.
