Permabond's medical device grade cyanoacrylate and UV-curable adhesives have been specially formulated to bond plastics and other materials commonly found in medical device manufacture. Permabond's technical team can help you select the most appropriate adhesive for your application or discuss your requirements for a custom formulation.
Permabond Medical Device Adhesives
- Cure in seconds - ideal for high-speed production
- Form high-strength bonds - often exceeding that of the substrate material.
- Colourless and transparent for a clean, aesthetically pleasing finish.
- Can adhere to difficult-to-bond materials
How do Permabond cyanoacrylate adhesives work?
Permabond cyanoacrylate adhesives are one-part adhesives that cure by reacting with minute traces of moisture on the surface of the material being bonded. They cure in seconds at ambient temperatures and have been formulated to bond flexible or rigid surfaces made from a wide range of plastics, rubbers or metals.
Permabond cyanoacrylates are available in a range of viscosities and material adhesion capabilities. These adhesives are formulated to bond a variety of porous and non-porous surfaces and to rigid or flexible materials.
Typical Applications:
- Catheter bonding
- Bonding components for breathing masks
- Tacking wires and bonding materials for electro-cardiogram pads
- Bonding connectors to tubes
- Disposable scalpels - bonding blade to handle
- Bonding sponge swabs to swab stick
Permabond Medical UV-Curable Adhesives
How do Permabond UV-curable adhesives work?
UV curable adhesives cure during exposure to ultra violet light. The adhesives contain photo-initiators that react to specific wavelengths, causing the curing process to begin.
UV adhesives do not dissolve, melt or weaken the two components. They form strong chemical bonds between the two substrates and provide a high strength alternative to other joining methods. They can be used to replace solvent welding to help reduce stress cracking and to increase bond strength and performance.
UV-curables are also a good alternative to ultrasonic welding as they are more able to cope with gaps or varying tolerances, this helps reduce reject rates.
Typical Applications:
- Face mask bonding
- Needle bonding
- Bonding connectors
- Catheter bonding
- Blood collection reservoirs
