Glass-bonding adhesives withstand
sunlight
Single part, UV curing glass-bonding adhesives offer high strength with low tension at the joint, optimum moisture resistance and high transparency even after prolonged sunlight.
Following the release of the Delo Glasbond range of adhesives earlier this year, Inseto (UK), Delo's UK agent, have been inundated with requests for further information and samples of the products The main competence of Delo's business has been in light curing technology and the Glasbond range has been developed over the last few years by their R and D department specifically for bonding glass

Adhesive fixes melves and SMD glass components
Wave soldering and reflow processes are a special challenge for an adhesive that is used to fix SMD components on printed boards, unless that adhesive is especially formulated for the task.
The Glasbond range consists of single part, UV curing adhesives that offer clear advantages: high strength with low tension at the joint; optimum moisture resistance; high transparency even after prolonged sunlight; refraction index similar to glass; excellent bonding even without primer and a product range that covers glass/glass, glass/metal and glass/plastic bonds.
Delo's R and D team have performed many comparative tests during the development and many known products on the market show restrictions with moisture resistance and light fastness.
Poor light fastness leads to among other things the yellowing of the bond, which does not only effect the optical transparency of the bond but can also reduce the bond strength.
The Delo Glasbond range show outstanding results after prolonged sunlight illumination and ageing tests.
Companies interested in the Glasbond range so far include: Crystal Glass manufacturers for speed and clarity, Architectural Glazing due to the high strength and ageing properties, Jewellery makers for fast processing and invisible bonds, Glass Furniture makers for strength and clarity and Decorative Glass processors due to its competitive pricing.
