Dymax® HLC™ (Hybrid Light-Curable) technology combines the best qualities of anionic and free radical chemistries. The HLC™ adhesive line is capable of curing in light and darkness with either UV/Visible light or a combination of UV/Visible light and contact/moisture. Primary features include fast cure, low-to-no blooming after proper light cure, humidity resistance, more flexible joints than ordinary CAs, and better aesthetics. Substrates are not required to be translucent, and light curing exposure increases the integrity of the bonds.
