Master Bond UV Curable Adhesives, Sealants, Coatings
and Potting & Encapsulation Compounds

Get the competitive advantage you need. Master Bond UV curable bonding, sealing, coating and potting & encapsulation compounds are single component and require no weighing or mixing prior to use. They are designed to speed productivity, eliminate waste, save energy, increase efficiency and improve reliability. Environmentally safe, they emit no volatiles or vapors during cure. They remain stable even after prolonged storage at room temperatures until exposed to a UV light source.This eliminates pot life problems. Remarkably fast curing with standard UV cure equipment, these systems will greatly enhance the speed of your operations. In most applications, cure speeds within a couple of seconds is common. This removes transient thermal exposures when adhering heat-sensitive substrates.

Our UV product line consists of epoxies, polyurethanes, polyesters and acrylics. We offer a wide variety of products. Grades vary in viscosity, cure speed, hardness, strength, chemical resistance, thermal stability, electrical insulation, optical properties, etc. Special formulations have outstanding abrasion resistance, enhanced temperature resistance, USP Class VI approval, withstand exposure to sterilants and are non-yellowing. Our compounds are presently employed in the medical, electronics, appliance, optical, photonic, military, automotive and many other industries. Applications range from bonding lenses, voice coils, magnets, syringes, and catheters to alternators, LED’s, headlamps, sensors, wire tacking and connectors. To learn more, contact us today.
