Optical
Applications
United Adhesives Inc. provides innovative solutions for
optoelectronics with optical-grade epoxy and silicone encapsulants,
coatings, adhesives, and sealants. They are applied in bonding
and potting fiber-optic cables, connectors and terminations,
LCD backlighting, displays, traffic and other lightings,
upgrading the vibration and shock resistance of electro-optic
assemblies, cementing and coating optical parts, potting
LED devices, optical replications, and coating or encapsulating
a wide variety of electro-optic and laser components.
They have the following features.
- Excellent light
transmission characteristics.
- Superior non-yellowing
properties or anti-yellowing
- Silicone based system
can cure to low-stress elastomer
- Resistance to ozone
and UV Degradation
- Broad operating
at temperatures of -40 to 180°C.
- High adhesion, high
purity, moisture resistance
- Reworkable for silicones
