Dymax 3099 adhesive from Intertronics is suitable for all high quality display purposes where clean transparent bonds are needed on acrylic, glass and polycarbonate. It is quick curing and cosmetically superior to solvent based systems. The product offers fast curing, high clarity, high tensile strength, 95% elongation at break and good resistance to moisture and thermal cycling.
Curing takes only a few seconds on exposure to moderate intensity 365nm wavelength UV light, to provide optimised productivity in both automated and hand assembly processes. It is capable of full cure in as little as 30s at intensities as low as 10 mW/cm2. However, curing does not take place until exposed to light, permitting precise positioning prior to bonding.
Though many applications require the joining of mating surfaces, Dymax 3099 forms acceptable bonds where irregular surfaces result in a less than perfect fit. It can cure through a thickness of 6mm in seconds, to create stronger bonds and better seals
