Adhesives and Epoxies Q&A
-
Can you recommend the most appropriate UV-curable adhesive for bonding ABS connectors to polyurethane tubing in a medical device application? We are trying to bond a polyether aromatic polyurethane tube to a transparent ABS connector.Answered May 17th, 2011 by Expert:For this type of application, I would suggest trying Dymax 1161-M. This adhesive cures using UV and visible light and exhibits good adhesion to ABS and PUR. It also fluoresces blue for quality purposes. If you are interested in our patented color-change technology, I would recommend trying See-Cure 1201-M-SC. This product is blue and therefore helps the user verify whether enough adhesive has been dispensed. Upon exposure to UV/visible light, it turns clear to confirm that the cure is complete.
