Adhesives & glue
Applications
IR drying and UV polymerisation of adhesives
Adhesives or glues have become very popular in the assembly and design of all kinds of products and production machines since they are increasingly durable, create a very strong force, can be removed when heated and help to assemble products very fast avoiding screws.
There are many different adhesives nowadays used, materials range from new UV and solvent acrylats, to natural or synthetic rubber.
The glue is brought on the materials by drops, spraying or blade distribution. Most popular applications are for adhesive tapes, lamintated foils and papers, electronics on high volumes production machines producing in a speed of 5-100 m/min.
Application areas are foils, tapes, band-aids, laminated papers, plastics, etc.
UV and IR is used to polymerize the UV acrylat or preheat with IR rubbers and eliminate the water solvents.

Sectors where UV & UV LED technology is used for adhesive and glue curing
Automotive
The automotive industry relies heavily on UV-curing adhesives for structural component assembly, headlight lens bonding, and dashboard display lamination.
These technologies guarantee a solid bond that withstands vibrations and thermal fluctuations, while enabling high production speeds thanks to instant curing.
Electronics
In the manufacturing of smartphones, tablets, and printed circuit boards, UV adhesives ensure precision bonding for micro-components, sensor encapsulation, and moisture protection.
UV curing provides reliable hold without excessive thermal stress, preserving the sensitivity of lightweight, miniaturized electronic components.
Medical
The medical sector requires ultra-reliable, fully biocompatible assemblies. UV adhesives are used for bonding syringe needles, catheters, masks, and diagnostic devices.
UV technology enables immediate curing without residual solvents, ensuring perfect sealing and compliance with the strictest health standards.
Food Packaging
For coating labels, flexible films, and adhesive tapes in the food industry, UV is the ideal solution.
The absence of solvents (100% solid content) and the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) guarantee a clean process, removing any risk of odor or taste migration, while offering excellent resistance to humidity and cold temperatures.
Graphic & Signage Adhesives
Designed for vehicle wrapping, outdoor signage, and large-format advertising, these adhesives demand flawless durability against external elements.
UV polymerization ensures excellent resistance to solar UV rays, weather conditions, and scratches, while delivering long-lasting adhesion and optimal color retention on vinyl films and window graphics.
