Techsil is holding tight

Vitralit UV 4050 LV is a new low-viscosity and transparent adhesive for plastic, glass and metal bonding from Techsil. It has been designed to be easily integrated in automated production lines

Techsil hope the product will be big in the medical devices sector and is currently being tested according to USP Class VI and DIN ISO 10993-4/-5 standards for use in medical applications.

The adhesive has been developed by German adhesive manufacturers Panacol. It has low viscosity, making it the perfect choice for tight bond gaps. Techsil says it provides excellent adhesion to most plastics as well as metals. If at least one assembly material is transparent, Vitralit UV 4050 LV should cure quickly to produce a strong and reliable bond. The ability to cure with visible light (>400nm) permits the bonding of UV blocked materials like polycarbonate. It cures in seconds with UV-A and visible light. Both gas discharge lamps and LEDs are suitable to use for curing. High intensity gallium doped gas discharge lamps produce excellent curing results, says Techsil.
