Fast commutator securing with new UV adhesive 13 January 2025

Panacol has developed Vitralit® UV E-2113, a new UV acrylic adhesive that is ideal for the rapid securing of commutators. This UV adhesive can be applied robotically and cures within seconds under UV light – thus accelerating the process of securing commutators.

Vitralit® UV E-2113 is a highly viscous and stable one component adhesive with optimised flow characteristics that allow it to dispense easily into cavities. This adhesive has high adhesion to all metals – it adheres to the coil wires as well as to the solder joints and the commutator. The adhesive can be applied in a ring around the commutator in automated processes.

This adhesive cures in just a few seconds with light in the UVA range or in the visible range at a wavelength of 405 nm. Both traditional gas discharge lamps and LED systems can be used for curing. After curing, Vitralit® UV E-2113 has a dry surface and is highly resistant to vibration and impact. Additionally, this adhesive creates low-stress bonds and features temperature resistance in the range of -40°C to 150°C which are typical requirements in the automotive industry.
