Executive Summary

A dual cure adhesive has the UV light cure as the first step in the process, followed by a secondary thermal cure achievable at temperatures as low as 80°C. This dual cure process benefits a wide variety of bonding, coating, sealing and small encapsulation applications. For example, cationic UV cures economically, minimizes shrinkage, and does not suffer from oxygen inhibition. This paper explores the power of UV light plus heat, a dual UV curable system, for industry applications.
