COMPANY HEADER
Needle bonding adhesives cure in seconds when exposed to UV/Visible/LED light for high-speed, high-volume syringe assembly lines that incorporate inline testing and packaging. Medica- grade products feature red or blue fluorescing for quality inspection under automated sensing or vision systems. Bondable substrates include PC, PMMA, and PA plastics as well as glass and metal.

  • UV/Visible/LED light curable
  • Single component materials require no mixing
  • Meet a variety of ISO 10993 standards
  • LED-curable materials available
  • Compatible with gamma, EtO, and E-Beam sterilization
  • Fluorescing for automated inspection

Features N/A
Additional Information N/A Dymax® MD® Adhesives, specially formulated for disposable medical device assembly, are used in a wide range of applications including catheter, syringe, anesthesia mask, reservoir, tube set, and medical electronics assembly. They help optimize assembly speeds to enable faster processing, greater output, and lower processing costs while allowing for 100% in-line inspection of bond lines. All of our adhesives are no solvents added and meet both USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards.

MD® adhesives are intended for use in short-term (<29 days) or single-use disposable-device applications only. Dymax® does not authorize their use in long-term implant applications. In all cases, it's the user's responsibility to determine and validate the suitability of these adhesives in the intended medical device.

Compatible sterilization methods include gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide. Sterilization by autoclaving may be limited to certain applications. It remains the user's obligation to ascertain the effect of sterilization on the cured adhesive.
