Next-Generation Advanced Optics Bonding for High-Volume LiDAR Production

Accelerating mirror and cover window bonding manufacturing throughput with new light-activatable adhesives

The automotive LiDAR market has quadrupled from 700,000 to over 3 million units annually in just three years, creating critical production bottlenecks in mirror and cover window bonding. Traditional silicones require up to one hour for handling strength—timeframes completely incompatible with automotive volume production demands.

DELO's breakthrough light-activatable adhesive technology delivers up to 5x higher production throughput while maintaining the flexibility, reliability, and optical precision required for demanding LiDAR applications. This represents the first solution that combines rapid strength development with silicone-like performance characteristics.

What can you expect in this white paper?

  • Revolutionary speed improvement: Detailed analysis of how new formulations achieve handling strength in minutes instead of one hour
  • Comprehensive performance data: Test results showing 1.1 MPa strength after one hour compared to 0.2 MPa for previous solutions
  • Long-term reliability validation: Proven durability under 85°C/85% humidity and thermal shock conditions from -40°C to +125°C
  • Enhanced optical performance: Improved outgassing characteristics with condensable matter reduced to below 0.1%
  • Real-world application insights: Solutions for both mirror bonding and cover window bonding across automotive and industrial robotics

Why adhesive solutions from DELO?

  • Proven market leadership in light-activatable technology for precision optical applications
  • Automotive-grade reliability validated through comprehensive testing protocols
  • Silane-modified polymer chemistry with dual-wavelength curing at 400 nm and 460 nm for maximum process flexibility
  • Temperature performance maintaining low Young's modulus from -40°C to +125°C for stress-sensitive optical components

Your advantages at a glance

  • Exceptional speed: Up to 5x production throughput improvement for high-volume manufacturing
  • Process efficiency: Room temperature curing eliminates thermal stress and warpage concerns
  • Maintained flexibility: Young's modulus consistently below 10 MPa across automotive operating range
  • Optical precision: Significantly reduced outgassing for contamination-sensitive closed optical systems
  • Scalability: Engineered specifically for automotive volume production requirements

Let us inspire you!

Discover how DELO's next-generation light-activatable adhesive technology solves the fundamental speed-versus-performance challenge in LiDAR manufacturing. Experience the breakthrough that enables automotive-scale production without compromising the optical precision and reliability that established DELO's market position.
