Torrington, CT - DYMAX MD "1000" series Medical Device adhesives make high-speed, high-volume bonding of medical device housings, tube sets, catheters, enclosures, and housings possible. These solvent-free adhesives replace ultrasonic welding applications and costly two-part products. They are USP Class VI and ISO 10993 certified, moisture and humidity resistant, leave no residue, and are available in gap-filling viscosities. Designed for plastic joints utilizing overlaps, flanges, or tabs, these adhesives cure to give a very strong bond.

DYMAX MD "1000" series adhesives are designed to cure with both UV and Visible light-emitting lamps. The new BlueWave LED visible light, high-intensity spot curing system from DYMAX offers many advantages over traditional UV spot curing systems including no bulbs to change, cool cures, instant-on, and constant intensity for thousands of hours. The BlueWave LED generates light using an array of surface-mount LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) instead of traditional metal halide or mercury bulbs. The LEDs produce visible light energy in a relatively narrow wavelength band centered at 410 nm, as contrasted to a typical broad-band, high-pressure UV bulb (300-500 nm). This system emits a maximum visible light intensity output of over 2,500 mW/cm2 from an 8 mm diameter lightguide and allows users to adjust intensity output from 0% to 100%. The relatively narrow band produced by LEDs generates cooler curing temperatures. The BlueWave LED is excellent for adhesive bonding of polycarbonate, PVC, PET, metal, glass and many other substrates.
