Overview

UV adhesives that cure on demand

Uniform Industries UV curable adhesives are one-component, solvent-free acrylate systems that stay liquid on the press until they pass under the lamp, then cure to a bonded film in a fraction of a second. Because nothing has to evaporate there is no drying tunnel, no VOC and no pot life: the adhesive on the anilox at the end of the shift is the same as at the start.

The range covers UCFP foil primers for cold-foil transfer on labels and cartons, UCLA laminating adhesives for film-to-film and film-to-paper lamination with optical clarity, UCFA and Galaxy grades for casting and holographic effects, and low-migration versions for food-packaging structures. All grades run on standard UV flexo coating units and cure with medium-pressure mercury or 395 nm LED lamps.
