Different curing methods

Different curing methods have their limitations. For example, while curing via pure light is effective in most cases, it is not a feasible solution to curing shadowed areas. While pre-activation is a possible solution here, in optical applications where active alignment processes are present, this method is not fast enough. In dual-curing applications, light and humidity can sometimes not be strong enough mechanisms or have other limitations with regard to yellowing or outgassing. In the case of all these limitations, low-temperature curing in addition to initial light fixation is a good workaround. 

The benefits of low-temperature heat curing

Their low curing temperature prevents damage high temperatures may otherwise cause temperature-sensitive substrates. It also reduces thermal stress between materials, thus limiting stress on the component itself.

For some low temperature-curing DELO MONOPOX adhesives, final strength can take place in just one 30-minute process step at 60 °C. This makes them the fastest of their kind while still able to maintain their favorable properties. Some of these properties include good adhesion to plastics like LCP, PA, and PPS, their strength and flexibility, as well as low shrinkage, outgassing, and yellowing.
