Manufactured by Panacol, Vitralit® 50004 is a one-component acrylic adhesive so it requires no mixing. The adhesive has been designed to use for bonding display screens in electronic devices and laminating optics. This adhesive offers the optimal balance of high strength bonding with full re-workability. Vitralit® 50004 adheres to a variety of substrates including coated glass, PET and other plastics and films. Its low viscosity means that it can fill cavities fast without trapping air. The adhesive cures quickly with very little shrinkage, meaning there is less residual stress between substrates. Techsil have expertise in many diverse adhesive applications including UV curing adhesives. They offer comprehensive customer support from selecting the right adhesive, on-site testing facilities to transitioning to volume production and beyond. www.techsil.co.uk TECHSIL LAUNCH NEW BIOCOMPATIBLE PLASTICS ADHESIVE WHICH FLUORESCES ORANGE Vitralit® 7311 FO is a transparent acrylic adhesive that cures under UV or visible light. It offers very high bond strength to many plastics including PC, PVC, PMMA or ABS, and also glass and stainless steel. With low viscosity and capillary flow characteristics, Vitralit® 7311 FO can bond large surfaces and applications with narrow gaps. Under low intensity black light (365 nm wavelength), Vitralit® 7311 FO fluoresces orange. This allows in-line inspection for quality control. The bright orange contrasts with plastics possessing a natural blue fluorescence or colour. Thanks to modern photo initiators Vitralit® 7311 FO cures within seconds which works well in high volume production. For optimal curing the Bluepoint LED eco, manufactured by Panacol’s parent company Hoenle, is recommended. www.techsil.co.uk Issue 41 PECM 113
