    Light-Activated Instant-Bond Adhesives

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Instant-Bond Adhesives. Light-Activated Instant-Bond Adhesives.
    Take your time positioning parts that require precise alignment, such as optical instruments. Instead of gripping immediately, these adhesives only harden when you expose them to a compatible light source.
    Syringe—Apply with a dispensing gun.
    Thin Liquid—Seep into narrow gaps and joints that thick-liquid adhesives can't reach. Use when bonding close-fitting parts.
    Thick Liquid—Fill larger gaps than thin-liquid adhesives, so they're better for bonding slightly misaligned or uneven surfaces.
    ISO 10993—Comply with biocompatibility standards for medical-grade applications.

    Take your time to precisely align parts before bonding, and maintain flexibility afterward. These adhesives won't harden until you expose them to a compatible light source. They also remain elastic so the bond can bend without breaking.

    Take your time to precisely align transparent parts before you bond them. Instead of gripping immediately, these adhesives only harden when you expose them to a compatible light source. They also keep surfaces crystal clear because they don't cloud up after hardening.

    Thinner than potting compounds, these coatings flow easily into small spaces between electrical components. They require an ultraviolet curing lamp to reach full strength. Use them to secure and insulate hardware on printed circuit boards.
    Syringe—Syringe coatings require a gun (sold separately) to dispense.

    Component-Concealing Conformal Coatings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Conformal Coatings. Component-Concealing Conformal Coatings.
    Hide proprietary information on electrical components while also protecting them from moisture, dust, and static. All it takes is a single thin layer of these black coatings. They’re often used to protect custom parts while prototyping. Place them under a UV curing lamp to fully harden them in just 5 seconds. Made of urethane rubber, they resist chemicals and scratches and won’t crack in low temperatures. That means they’re great for harsh environments. These coatings meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.
    These coatings are thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours to cover your parts completely. They also don’t require a potting box or other container. Dispense these coatings with a gun (sold separately).
