Precision UV-Curable Adhesives
(AT4291A, AT9290F)

Features

  • Low shrinkage during curing (3% or less).
  • Low thermal expansion coefficient (2 * / or less).
  • Adhesion/fixation at submicron levels is possible because displacement of bonded subjects during curing or from temperature changes is so small.
  • Turns transparent when cured (AT9290F).
  • Easy to check the degree of curing and able to cure large depth (AT9290F).

Not able to use in the optical path. This property data is a measured value on samples instead of the guaranteed value.
Recommended curing process :


*1 UV irradiation : 30mW/cm2 (365nm) Heat treatment : 120 ~150 for 30~ 60min
*2 UV irradiation : 30mW/cm2 (365nm) Heat treatment : 60 ~100 for 1h
