About this product

A low-viscosity (~300 cps) single-component liquid adhesive that cures in seconds to a tough, hard polymer (Shore D ~90) for fast, precise bonding of optical components and fiber optics. It cures under long-wave UV with peak sensitivity near 365 nm (sensitive 320-380 nm) at a recommended full-cure dose of about 2 J/cm².
