New Product from Master Bond UV26DCMed
Master Bond UV26DCMed is a dual-cure epoxy system designed for medical applications. It utilizes UV light for the initial cure and heat to fully polymerize areas not directly exposed to UV. Upon exposure to UV light at 320–365 nm with an energy intensity of 20–40 milliwatts/cm², cross-linking occurs rapidly in those areas exposed to the light, with faster cures achievable at higher energy outputs. To ensure complete polymerization, heat must be applied at 110–125°C for 60–90 minutes. Post curing at 120–150°C for 1–2 hours is strongly recommended to optimize physical strength, chemical resistance, and glass transition temperature. In fact, longer heating will further improve these properties. This process ensures thorough and reliable curing, even in complex geometries.
