UV/Visible light curable adhesives

Choose your adhesive route

Use the routes below to navigate the collection by bonding logic, mechanical behavior and application target.

• UV and visible-light curable adhesive systems.
• Fast bonding and rapid fixation for practical joining workflows.
• Controlled cure behavior with grade-dependent performance profiles.
• Strong adhesion concepts depending on the selected route.
• Coverage of hard, tough, flexible, opaque and printable adhesive concepts in one collection.

Typical use scenarios across the collection

This collection is suitable for workflows where light-curable bonding, sealing, assembly or repair is part of the technical process.

• Bonding and assembly: rapid joining of compatible parts in technical and prototyping workflows.
• Rapid fixturing: fast light-triggered fixation before or during assembly operations.
• Sealing and joining: controlled cure systems for practical interface closure and part integration.
• Repair and prototyping: localized adhesive use in development, rework and specialty fabrication workflows.
• Specialty assembly workflows: application-driven selection between hard, flexible, opaque or hot-melt adhesive concepts.

How to choose the right adhesive route

Select the most suitable route according to whether the main objective is thermal resistance, toughness, flexibility, opaque cement behavior or printable hot-melt processing.

• Need higher thermal resistance after cure → choose 3D Adhesive HDTA1 Bio
• Need hard and tough adhesive behavior with monomer-free biocompatible positioning → choose 3D Adhesive HTA1 MF Bio
• Need hard and flexible adhesive behavior → choose 3D Adhesive HFA1 Bio
• Need opaque cement / composite adhesive in tooth shades → choose 3D Cement OCA
• Need a printable hot-melt adhesive concept → choose 3D Adhesive HM1

• Prioritise heat resistance → start with HDTA1 Bio
• Prioritise rigid but durable bonding → start with HTA1 MF Bio
• Prioritise more compliant bonded joints → start with HFA1 Bio
• Prioritise opaque shade-matched adhesive logic → start with Cement OCA
• Prioritise processable printable adhesive behavior → start with HM1

Decision tree summary

Use this simplified logic before detailed process qualification and substrate-specific adhesion validation.

• Need heat-resistant adhesive performance → HDTA1 Bio
• Need hard & tough bonding route → HTA1 MF Bio
• Need hard & flexible bonding route → HFA1 Bio
• Need opaque cement composite adhesive route → Cement OCA
• Need printable hot-melt bonding route → HM1
• Need final process assurance → validate under the exact substrates, bond-line thickness, cure settings and end-use conditions

Then confirm the final route under the intended light source, cure schedule, substrate combination, joint geometry and service environment.

High deflection temperature adhesive

For bonding workflows requiring a light-curable adhesive route with higher thermal resistance and fixation stability under more demanding temperature exposure.

Hard and tough monomer-free biocompatible adhesive

For bonding workflows requiring a hard, durable and crack-resistant adhesive profile with monomer-free biocompatible positioning.

Hard and flexible biocompatible adhesive

For bonding workflows requiring a mechanically balanced adhesive profile with stiffness plus some flex capability in the bonded interface.

Light-curable opaque cement composite and adhesive

For workflows requiring an opaque adhesive or cement composite route in tooth-like shades for appearance-driven or dental-style bonding logic.

Printable hot melt adhesive

For workflows requiring a printable adhesive concept positioned around hot-melt style process behavior rather than conventional thin liquid bonding logic.

A structured adhesive platform rather than a single bonding profile

This collection is clearly structured around multiple adhesive concepts so users can choose the right bonding route according to thermal, mechanical, visual and process needs.

• HDTA1 Bio covers the heat-resistant route.
• HTA1 MF Bio covers the hard and tough monomer-free route.
• HFA1 Bio covers the hard and flexible route.
• Cement OCA covers the opaque cement composite adhesive route.
• HM1 covers the printable hot-melt route.

The right adhesive route depends on the final joining workflow, not only on the product name

These materials are workflow-dependent bonding systems. Final performance depends on the complete process: substrate preparation, adhesive thickness, cure wavelength, energy dose, geometry and service conditions.

In practice, the correct path is to define the joint function first, then validate the selected adhesive under the exact substrates, cure settings, environmental exposure and end-use requirements.

The final suitability of any bonded assembly must always be validated by the user according to the specific application, process conditions and applicable technical or regulatory requirements.
