Acri-Bond UV Adhesives (commonly known as UV Glue) are high-performance, single-component adhesives that cure rapidly when exposed to UV or visible light at the correct wavelength and intensity. These adhesives are a solvent-free formula and are ideal for bonding clear plastics and glass to themselves or to other materials like metal, without the mess and with perfect clarity.
Acri-Bond UV Adhesives are trusted across a wide range of industries, from precision manufacturing to large scale projects. Our range is particularly popular in the acrylic and glass sectors, where high bond strength and optical clarity are critical such as museums. Our adhesives are popular in attaching glass to metal fixtures in common glass fabrications.
Fast curing is essential in many production environments, and Acri-Bond delivers flexibility. Cure speed can be tuned to suit your application, whether by increasing light intensity, reducing lamp distance, or adding extra lamps to the line. This means faster throughout without sacrificing control.
Our UV adhesive range includes multiple viscosities and cover multiple substrates, such as Acrylic, Polycarbonate, Glass and Metals.
