Dymax MD® 215-CTH-SV01-UR-SC is an LED-curable adhesive designed for bonding and assembly of next-generation catheter designs using Nylon 12 and PEBA. Formulated with Encompass® technology that combines Dymax exclusive See-Cure color change and Ultra-Red® fluorescing technologies with LED-curing capabilities, 215-CTH-SV01-UR-SC provides secure bonds with the added benefits of easy cure confirmation and post-cure bond-line inspection. The product’s blue color transitions to colorless when sufficient energy has been delivered to achieve full cure. The product also fluoresces bright red under low-intensity black light (365 nm), contrasting extremely well on plastics that naturally fluoresce blue, allowing manufacturers to incorporate automated or manual inspection to ensure complete and accurate placement of the adhesive. Dymax MD Medical Device Adhesives contain no nonreactive solvents and cure upon exposure to light. Their ability to cure in seconds enables faster processing, greater output, and lower processing costs. When cured with Dymax light-curing spot lamps, focused-beam lamps, or flood lamps, they deliver optimum speed and performance for medical device assembly. Dymax lamps offer the ideal balance of UV and visible light for the fastest, deepest cures. This product is in full compliance with RoHS directives 2015/863/EU.
