Request InfoAdhesive for Medical Device AssemblyDymax, HeadquartersTORRINGTON, Conn., Aug. 18, 2009 – With Dymax Corp.’s Ultra-Red fluorescing 1180-M-UR adhesive, users can perform high-speed, high-volume needle bonding medical device assembly. The multipurpose MD medical device adhesive cures upon exposure to UV and visible light and is designed for rapid bonding of the plastics and metals typically used in the manufacture of syringes and needles. Available in thixotropic (5000 cP) and low (150 cP) viscosities, the adhesive fluoresces bright red under low-intensity “black” light at 365 nm. The bright red fluorescence contrasts well on plastics that naturally fluoresce blue in color,...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Jul/Aug 2023 IssueMedical Device Multipurpose AdhesiveThe MD® 1045-M adhesive from Dymax is a light-curable material for medical device assembly.
