CRL UV349 Loctite Impruv UV Adhesive - 1.69 Fl. Oz.

CRL UV349 Loctite Impruv UV Adhesive - 1.69 Fl. Oz.

C.R. Laurence UV349 Loctite Impruv Ultraviolet Adhesive - 1.69 Fl. Oz. is an optically clear adhesive designed for professional-grade applications. This one-part medium viscosity adhesive utilizes a UV cure system, allowing for quick bonding that cures within seconds upon exposure to ultraviolet light. Ideal for creating seamless glass showcases, shelves, and furniture, it effectively bonds and seals glass-to-glass or glass-to-metal components. With outstanding adhesion properties, this adhesive can handle a variety of materials, including glass, metal, and some thermoplastics. The cured bond exhibits excellent moisture resistance and environmental durability, remaining clear and strong over time. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -65°F to 266°F (-54°C to 130°C), ensuring reliability in diverse conditions. The UV349 adhesive is easy to apply, with approximate coverage of 1,000 linear inches for a 1/16" bead and 250 linear inches for a 1/8" bead. However, it requires that one of the bonded materials is transparent to allow UV light penetration. For optimal performance, surfaces should be clean and free from grease prior to application. Store in a cool, dry place, and minimize exposure to UV light during handling for best results.

• Optically Clear UV Adhesive
• Cures Within Seconds
• Bonds and Seals Glass-to-Glass, or Glass-to-Metal Components

CRL Loctite U.V. Adhesive is a one-part medium viscosity adhesive with an ultraviolet cure system. Tough, durable bonds can be formed with excellent adhesion to glass, metal and some thermoplastics. Ideal for making 'all-glass' showcases, glass shelves, furniture, etc. The adhesive cures within seconds upon exposure to U.V. light from a curing lamp to form a transparent bond. This product is cured when exposed to U.V. radiation of 365nm. The speed of cure will depend on the U.V. intensity as measured at the product surface, as well as the coating depth. UV349 has an outstanding ability to cure through large gaps and to cure to a hard, dry surface that is water clear.

Strength retention on exposure to moisture or humidity is excellent. When cured, it also has a high degree of general environmental durability and resistance to discoloration on aging. Cured adhesive temperature resistance is -65 to 266 degree Fahrenheit (-54 to 130 degree Celsius).

Loctite 20162 is a general purpose cleaner/degreaser, ideal for preparing surfaces prior to use of all Loctite adhesives and sealants. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.

Note: Ultraviolet curing adhesives require that the bond area be exposed to the ultraviolet irradiation produced by curing lamps. One of the materials to be bonded must be transparent for the U.V. light to pass through. Therefore, glass-to-glass, glass to metal, plastic to metal bonds will be effective, while metal to metal bonds will not cure.

Coverage:
Approximate coverage of a 1.69 fl oz bottle;
1/16" (1.58 mm) bead - 1,000 linear inches (25.4 m)
1/8" (3 mm) bead - 250 linear inches (6.35 m)


Product Warning:

This product is U.V. sensitive. Exposure to daylight, U.V. light and artificial lighting should be kept to a minimum during storage and handling. Product should be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in unopened containers at a temperature between 46°F to 82°F (8°C to 28°C). Optimal storage is at the lower half of this temperature range.

Cooling should be provided for temperature sensitive substrates such as thermoplastic. Plastic grades should be checked for risk of stress cracking when exposed to liquid adhesive.
