Optical
Encapsulants and Adhesives
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 following outstanding 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.
