Request InfoDymax, HeadquartersIntertronicsTORRINGTON, Conn., Sept. 30, 2014 — Encompass light-cure adhesives from Dymax Corp. change color to provide visual confirmation that the bond site is secure. The blue adhesives become colorless after sufficient exposure to UV light. Under low-intensity black light (365 nm), the cured adhesive will fluoresce bright red, providing contrast on plastics like that naturally fluoresce blue. Encompass technology is available to suit substrates including platinum, stainless steel, PC, PVC, ABS, CAP, PA, Nylon 12, PET and PEBA.
