Permabond UV6302 UV Curing Adhesive

Product Overview

PERMABOND UV6302 is a single part, fast setting, and UV curable adhesive designed specifically for bonding plastics. This material has excellent adhesion to a variety of plastics including polycarbonate. Permabond UV6302 has very low viscosity for good capillary action; this makes it ideal for close fitting components with tight gaps and for post assembly application.

Featured Properties

Surface Preparation

Surfaces should be clean, dry and grease-free before applying the adhesive. Particular care should be taken to remove silicone based cleaning agents which may have been used previously to clean glass. Some metals such as aluminium, copper and its alloys, will benefit from light abrasion with emery cloth (or similar) to remove the oxide layer. Isopropanol can be used to degrease most surfaces. Where thermoplastic surfaces are involved we recommend tests are done to ensure compatibility, mold release agents may affect bond strength.

Directions for Use

1)Adhesive can either be applied directly from the bottle or dispensed via automated dispensing equipment for more accurate dosing.Minimise exposure of product to ambient light.

2)It is important to try to prevent air entrapment within the joint as this could be detrimental to the finished appearance of the adhesive.

3)Parts should be firmly held and not disturbed during cure. Expose the joint to ultra-violet light for the appropriate time to ensure full cure.Cure time depends on the power of the UV lamp, its spectral output, the distance between the lamp and the components, and the transmission characteristics of the substrates.

4)For help selecting a suitable lamp and/or dispensing equipment, please contact the Permabond technical helpline.
