AXIS-980_Rev6 is a medical device adhesive engineered for the rapid, reliable bonding of plastics and metals. This advanced formulation significantly enhances processing speed and boosts manufacturing output. Consequently, it delivers substantial reductions in overall processing costs for critical medical components.
General Information of AXIS-980_Rev6
AXIS-980_Rev6 is an acrylated urethane, presenting as a clear liquid in its uncured state. This material cures rapidly upon exposure to UV/Visible light, eliminating the need for nonreactive solvents. Its unique light-curing mechanism allows for cure times measured in seconds, optimizing production efficiency. Furthermore, this adhesive has undergone qualification to the stringent ISO 10993 Protocol, confirming its suitability for diverse applications within the medical device industry.
The formulation’s primary industrial mechanism involves a photo-initiated polymerization process. This ensures a robust and durable bond. AXIS-980_Rev6 exhibits excellent moisture resistance, contributing to the longevity and integrity of bonded assemblies. Consequently, it provides a reliable solution for demanding medical environments. Proper curing requires specific UV light parameters; therefore, consultation with technical staff ensures optimal performance for each unique application.
Key Features & Technical Benefits
- UV/Visible Light Cure: This feature enables extremely fast curing times, often within seconds. Manufacturers achieve higher throughput and reduce production bottlenecks significantly.
- Moisture Resistant: The cured adhesive forms a durable barrier against moisture ingress. This protects sensitive medical device components, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in various operational conditions.
- Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-5: AXIS-980_Rev6 meets critical industry standards for biological evaluation. This ensures its safe use in direct or indirect contact with biological systems, making it ideal for medical device manufacturing.
- Optimized for Medical Device Assembly: This adhesive is specifically designed for bonding common medical plastics and metals. It provides strong, consistent bonds essential for the integrity and functionality of complex medical devices.
