Q1: What is the primary advantage of using UV-curable adhesive for seam bonding?
A: The key advantage is instant, on-demand curing upon UV exposure, allowing for rapid assembly without clamping or long drying times. It provides high bond strength, minimal shrinkage, and excellent gap-filling capability, ideal for precision joining and automated production lines.
Q2: Which materials can be effectively bonded with this adhesive?
A: It is suitable for bonding plastics (e.g., acrylic, PC, PVC), glass, metals, and composites, particularly in applications where seams or edges require a clean, strong, and invisible joint. Surface compatibility should be verified for porous or low-energy materials.
Q3: Are there specific curing or application requirements to ensure optimal seam quality?
A: Yes. Apply adhesive evenly along the seam, ensuring full UV light penetration (typically 365-405 nm wavelength) for complete curing. For thick or opaque joints, consider translucent substrates or dual-cure formulations. Avoid shadowed areas by adjusting light angle or using multiple UV sources.
