Dymax announced that it released the HLC-M-1000, the first product in its new hybrid light-curable (HLC) series of adhesives.

The patent-pending adhesive platform combines anionic and free radical chemistries into one formulation. HLC adhesives exhibit the physical and performance properties of Dymax light-curable adhesives and the rapid moisture/contact cure of anionics. Contact curing enables instant bonding in dark areas and to a broad range of substrates. That includes opaque and light-blocking materials.

According to the Torrington, Connecticut-based company, primary advantages of HLC materials include fast cure under very low intensity. The materials also offer limited-to-no blooming with proper light cure, better aesthetics, humidity resistance and more flexible bond joints. Substrates don’t need to be translucent, while exposure to light curing increases bond integ…

Rapid curing materials and equipment manufacturer Dymax today announced a new sales partnership with Quantum Systems.

Torrington, Connecticut-based Dymax said in a news release that Quantum, with its offices in Arizona as well as Sonora and Baja, Mexico, will focus its efforts on promoting and supporting the sales of Dymax light-curing solutions to the medical, electronics, automotive and aerospace and defense markets throughout that region.

Under the partnership, Quantum will act as a conduit between Dymax and key customers, focusing efforts on creating and growing cooperative relationships between companies and providing expert technical guidance and assistance to design streamlined, cost-effective manufacturing processes.

“Our relationship with Quantum Systems will help expand our reach to critical OEM manufacturers in the medical, aerospace and defense, electronic, as well as electric vehicle industries that may not be aware of Dymax’s 40 years of ex…

Dymax announced today that it will exhibit at MD&M West from April 12-14 in Anaheim, California.

Torrington, Connecticut-based Dymax specialists will be present in booth 1901 to discuss and demonstrate an array of the company’s light-curing technologies, including See-Cure and Ultra-Red fluorescing.

The company will also be presenting a first-of-its-kind 2000-MW series of adhesives formulated for safer use when in proximity to skin, as well as 1040-M autoclave resistant material for potting and encapsulation and 1172-M-UR material that’s of interest to manufacturers of in vitro diagnostics or applications requiring bonding or sealing of low-surface-energy substrates like COC/COP. The 215-CTH series of catheter bonders will also be available for demonstration.

Dymax’s booth will also feature the company’s redesigned UVCS 3.0 conveyor system along with the Dymax tube bonder system, as well as the company’s latest broad-spe…

Dymax has released a new line of light-curable adhesives for wearable medical devices, saying they’re the first of their kind to pass ISO 10993-10 for sensitization and irritation.

Torrington, Connecticut-based Dymax — which develops rapid and light-curable materials, dispensing equipment and UV/LED curing systems for the medical device industry and others — said its new 2000-MW series adhesives are free of TPO and made without IBOA, a known skin irritant.

“Removing materials of concern with the introduction of the 2000-MW series of products is our first step toward the elimination of problematic ingredients,” Dymax Medical Global Business Development Director Mike Ford said in a news release.

The company said typical applications include continuous glucose monitors, large volume injectors, patient monitoring devices, pain management devices and other devices worn in close proximity to the skin.

The adhesives are designed for bonding S…

Dymax has released its new 1040-M adhesive for surgical tools and devices that are subject to repeated autoclave or Sterrad plasma sterilization.

The new adhesive has extremely low water absorption of 0.5% and is designed to be autoclave resistant for more than 100 cycles, the Torrington, Connecticut-based manufacturer said in a news release. The material can also protect sensors, RFID chips and other electronic components as an encapsulant.

The material cures quickly when exposed to broad-spectrum UV light and is optimized to be LED curable at a wavelength of 365 nm, Dymax said. The 1040-M adhesive bonds to stainless steel, aluminum, glass, PP/PE, PCB and other substrates, and can be used for medical devices such as scopes, vials, tools and dental equipment.

Dymax also said that 1040-M meets the requirements for ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity, is formulated without IBOA, has a…
