LOCTITE® AA 3979™: Fast-Curing, Light-Activated Medical Device Adhesive for Plastics, Rubber & Metals
LOCTITE® AA 3979™ is a one-component, UV/visible light-cure acrylic adhesive gel designed for medical device bonding and other light-curing applications. It’s particularly ideal when the fluorescent properties of the base materials might interfere with adhesive detection during quality control.
FEATURES:
UV Fluorescent for Easy Inspection: The red fluorescence under UV light makes it easy to inspect bonded joints, overcoming limitations caused by the base material’s properties.
Gel Viscosity: Ideal for filling large gaps and vertical surfaces, preventing adhesive migration after application.
ISO-10993 Biocompatible: Meets biocompatibility standards for use in certain medical devices.
Bonds Various Materials: Adheres strongly to plastics, rubber, and metals.
Fast Curing with UV/Visible Light: Cures rapidly upon exposure to ultraviolet light or visible light of the appropriate wavelength.
LOCTITE® AA 3979™ offers a unique solution for medical device bonding and other light-curing applications where traditional adhesives might be hindered by material properties or require complex application processes.
