UV adhesives and curing equipment in the medical device industry: Bonding "on demand" in seconds!

The DYMAX UV- and lightcuring adhesives for the medical industry are used for a variety of assembly applications such as laminating PET, bonding polycarbonate components, syringe assemblies or medical optical applications.

DYMAX recently introduced the new light curing adhesive MD 1193-M-VLV for bonding needles, syringes and other stainless steel cannula. MD 1193-M-VLV is low viscosity for quick, air-free dispensing into needle hub cavities, bonding stainless steel cannula to polycarbonate, PVC and polypropylene hubs. It produces clear, high strength bonds with minimal variation in tensile strength values. MD 1193-M-VLV cures in fractions of a second thereby enabling the immediate in-line quality inspection via fluorescence. As all DYMAX medical products MD 1193-M-VLV is ISO 10993 and USP Class VI certified. Adhesives are produced in a number of viscosities, from thin wicking grades to thixotropic gels. The adhesives are designed to cure in seconds when exposed to medium intensity UV and visible light in the 300-500 nm range.

As a total solution provider for the medical industry DYMAX offers both high-performance adhesive and matching curing equipment:

The high intensity DYMAX BlueWave™ 200 spot lamp is used in fully automated production processes and offers single-, double-, quadruple-wand light guides or specially designed rod lenses. The bulb are designed for approximately 2000 hours of operation, thereby lowering curing system operating costs. The intensity of 20 W/cm_ (measured on a 5mm diameter) enables very fast and complete curing. The device offers SPS-integration and its timer has recently been improved for easier use.

The DYMAX BlueWave™ 50 is used for cost-efficient curing in manual and semi-automated processes. Life expectancy of the bulb is around 4000 hours and an integrated LCD timer and LED control display assure process quality and complete cure eliminating the risk of overheating.

With an intensity of 90 mW/cm_ DYMAX delivers the MedicCure 400 compact system for small series production and laboratory usage. This flood lamp consists of a shield, a timer and a drawer to assure worker safety and reproducible curing processes.

In its laboratories DYMAX offers free testing and application engineers find the best solution for your individual application. Cost free samples are available upon request.
