Dual-curing powerhouse adhesives
Permabond 130UV and 135UV are a class of adhesives that offer the benefit of both a cyanoacrylate (moisture) and UV cure. They cure in seconds when exposed to UV light and also by reacting with the moisture present in the air and on most surfaces, effectively offering the best of both curing technologies.
Traditional UV adhesives rely solely on UV light to cure, which can lead to uncured 'shadow areas' where the UV light cannot reach, or bonding issues with opaque (non-transparent) materials. Permabond 130UV and 135UV overcome these with a dual-curing system - utilising both a UV light and moisture cure. This ensures complete curing, even in shadow areas or when bonding opaque substrates.
Unlike standard UV adhesives which struggle to bond rubber, 130UV and 135UV's cyanoacrylate chemistry enables strong adhesion to rubber surfaces. They cure tack-free, providing a clean, smooth finish.
Standalone cyanoacrylates can produce a white residue or "bloom" after curing due to a chemical reaction with moisture present in the air. Permabond 130UV and 135UV avoid this by instantly curing with UV light, preventing bloom and delivering a clean, residue-free finish.
