The series 'MD' medical device adhesives from Intertronics
cure in second on exposure to both visible and UV light. Cure time
reductions of up to, or exceeding 50% are claimed, when these products
are cured with lamps offering appropriate UV and visible spectral outputs
(Dymax Medi-Cure, for example). MD adhesives fluoresce brightly when
exposed to low-intensity black light, facilitating in-line inspection of
the adhesive bond area before and after the curing process. They are
compatible with many automated vision inspection systems, making them
suitable for high speed, high volume production of syringes, reservoirs,
tube sets and catheter assemblies.
