The Vibra-Tite 294 is a single-component, medium viscosity UV (ultraviolet) and visible light-curing adhesive, specifically formulated for bonding plastics. It is designed for applications where fast, on-demand curing is required.
Substrates: Optimized for bonding a wide range of plastics. It has excellent adhesion to most substrate types.
Cure Mechanism: Cures when exposed to the appropriate UV or visible light spectrum (e.g., $365\ \text{nm}$, $395\ \text{nm}$, and $455\ \text{nm}$ UV LED light sources).
Cure Speed: Designed for an almost instant cure (fixture time is typically very fast, around $10$ seconds or less).
Viscosity: Medium viscosity (approximately $7,500\ \text{cP}$).
Color: Clear, for high optical clarity and an invisible bond line.
Volume:$50\ \text{mL}$ bottle.
Performance:
High Shear Strength (up to $4,500\ \text{psi}$).
Good Shore Hardness (D60).
Maximum Operating Temperature: Up to $188^{\circ}\text{F}$ (approx. $87^{\circ}\text{C}$).
Benefits:
Cure-on-Demand: The light cure process offers superior control over cure time, allowing for precise part alignment before curing instantly when exposed to light.
High Clarity: The adhesive is clear and non-yellowing, making it ideal for aesthetically critical bonding applications.
Versatile Bonding: It is a go-to choice for bonding various plastic materials in assemblies.
Typical Applications:
The Vibra-Tite 294 is commonly used in industrial and assembly operations for bonding, tabbing, and component assembly, particularly in industries like electronics, medical devices, and other fields requiring reliable plastic bonding.
