AXIS-1026 is a low viscosity, UV-curable adhesive. It fluoresces under black light, significantly aiding in the inspection of bonded assemblies. This formulation offers robust and reliable bonding for critical medical device components. Furthermore, its advanced chemistry ensures high performance and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
General Information of AXIS-1026
AXIS-1026 is an advanced acrylated urethane-based adhesive. It presents as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in its uncured state. This material cures rapidly and efficiently upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Consequently, it facilitates streamlined and high-volume manufacturing processes. The adhesive formulation contains no nonreactive solvents, promoting a safer working environment. Importantly, AXIS-1026 meets stringent biocompatibility standards. It complies with ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity, making it an ideal choice for sensitive medical device applications. This adherence ensures both product safety and regulatory compliance in critical manufacturing sectors.
