Dymax 431 bonds rapidly upon exposure to UV/Visible light for immediate use in the assembly process, making it highly suitable for assembly applications such as furniture, container glass and lighting and appliance sub-assemblies.

Dymax 431 cures in seconds with conventional UV curing lamps, but also cures with LED-based UV curing lamps, such as Intertronics' BlueWave LED Prime. The adhesive offers low shrinkage, which results in reduced stress on the bond line or larger cured surfaces.

Dymax 431 offers a high degree of adhesion to glass and metal with the flexibility required for shock resistance. It can also be considered for bonding a wide variety of plastics such as ABS, CAP, PA, PC, PCTG, PEBA, PEEK, PET, PETG, PI, PVC and SAN, as well as ceramic and FR4.
