Light Curing Cyanoacrylates: Breakthrough Technology for Medical Device Assembly

This article is based on an original publication by Loctite.

Developed in 1999, light cure cyanoacrylate (UVCA) adhesives were created to provide all the advantages of cyanoacrylates and light cure adhesives without the limitations. Engineered to offer an immediate surface cure when exposed to low intensity light, this revolutionary technology cures in shadowed areas via a unique reaction with surface moisture.
