Frequently Asked Questions About Loctite UV Adhesives
Is UV glue the same as Super Glue?
A: No, UV glue and Super Glue serve different purposes. While Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) bonds quickly through moisture exposure, UV adhesives like Loctite UV cure adhesives require ultraviolet light to cure. UV glue provides on-demand curing and clearer finishes, making it ideal for precision applications in electronics, aerospace, optics, and medical manufacturing.
What are UV adhesives and sealants, and where are they used?
A: UV adhesives and sealants are materials that cure when exposed to UV light, forming strong, durable bonds.
Loctite UV adhesives are widely used in industries such as medical device manufacturing, electronics assembly, automotive systems, and construction due to their speed, stability, and bonding strength.
What properties make UV cure adhesives suitable for industrial applications?
A:
Loctite UV cure adhesives are valued for their high strength, flexibility, fast curing, excellent environmental resistance, and high transparency. These properties make them a top choice for manufacturers who need precise, reliable performance in demanding production environments.
Can Loctite UV adhesives be used on plastic and metal?
A: Yes, Loctite UV adhesives bond effectively to a wide range of substrates including plastic, metal, glass, and ceramics. Their strong adhesion and clear curing properties make them versatile across industries that require aesthetic and structural integrity.
How do I choose the right Loctite UV cure adhesive for my application?
A: Choosing the right Loctite UV cure adhesive depends on factors like the materials being bonded, desired bond flexibility, curing speed, and exposure to environmental stress. Refer to Loctite's light cure adhesive selector guide or product data sheets to ensure compatibility with your specific application.
