UV Adhesive Is Flexible yet Strong
Master Bond's UV10FL-1 is a strong yet flexible UV cure adhesive capable of curing in thick sections. The bond strength is equal or exceeds those obtained from conventional epoxy compositions. Its polymerization will continue after exposure to a UV light source, thus assuring complete cure. UV10FL-1 has excellent fatigue resistance and performs well under stress even in adverse environments.
