There is no adhesive in the world that cures quite as fast as a UV light curable adhesive. Powered by ultraviolet (UV) light, these adhesives undergo a chemical reaction to go from a liquid to a solid, cured glue in a matter of a few seconds. This unique ability makes them very popular across a variety of industries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The process whereby a UV adhesive goes from a liquid to a solid is known as ‘photopolymerization.’ UV adhesives contain small molecules called photoinitiators, which, upon exposure to UV light, cause the polymers present in the adhesive to begin linking together and solidifying. This process happens incredibly quickly, leading to the ultra-fast cure that you get with UV.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A key advantage of UV adhesives other than their rapid cure is that once dispensed, they remain in a liquid uncured state, so long as they aren’t exposed to UV light. Unlike some other adhesive types that start to cure quickly upon exposure to air or metals, this makes them great for precise alignment of parts before bonding. For products requiring a microscopic level of accuracy in alignment, for example in certain electronics and medical devices, a UV glue is by far the most preferred option for this reason. They also lend themselves well to high-speed production lines with automatic dispensing equipment, helping reduce processing time and improving both accuracy and consistency.<\/p>\n

Another benefit of UV adhesives is that they contain no solvents. This ensures that their environmental impact is low, since they emit fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs)<\/a> than other adhesive types.<\/p>\n

Where are UV glues used?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

UV adhesives tend to bond very well to glass, plastics, metals and ceramics. They often display good moisture and chemical resistance, as well as withstanding fluctuations in temperature, which makes them well suited for a variety of applications. Industries in which UV glues are commonly used include:<\/p>\n
