Product catalog summary
Introduction
LOCTITE® AA 3951 and AA 3953 are advanced light cure adhesives developed by Henkel, designed for flexible medical device assembly. These adhesives comply with ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, making them suitable for medical applications.
Specifications
These adhesives offer high bond strengths on flexible substrates and exhibit high elongation. They are LED curable and highly fluorescent, allowing for easy detection in both cured and uncured states using black light or vision systems.
Application and Curing
LOCTITE® adhesives can be dispensed manually or through semi-automated and fully automated systems. They can be cured using UV or visible light, with the latest LED curing units providing rapid curing capabilities.
Detection and Bonding Challenges
Fluorescent additives in the adhesives facilitate detection. For difficult bonding applications, such as low-energy plastics like polyethylene and PTFE, LOCTITE® SF primers combined with cyanoacrylate adhesives ensure reliable adhesion without complex surface treatments.
