UV curing adhesives, also known as light curing adhesive, use UV light or other radiation sources to initiate the curing process. A permanent bond then forms without application of heat by a means of free-radical chemistry. UV curing adhesives are available in a range of viscosities and several different chemical systems, most of which are…

Contrasted with other adhesive types, silicone adhesive is clearly distinctive. The unique chemical composition polymers gives silicone adhesives elastomeric properties not found in many other adhesives. This elasticity makes silicone adhesive highly flexible and resistant to changes in temperature. Silicone adhesives can withstand high levels of heat, whilst remaining highly elastic at temperatures as low…

What is UL 94 Standard? UL 94 is the standard for safety of flammability of plastic materials for parts in electrical equipment and accessories. Performed by the Underwriters Laboratories, UL 94 classifies plastics based on how they burn, with orientation and thickness level determining a plastic’s tendency to extinguish or spread the flame once ignited,…
