Dymax, a manufacturer of rapid-curing materials and equipment, has announce the release of 1045-M adhesive, the newest product in its line of MD® light-curable materials for medical device assembly.
The product is designed to bond the glass, SS, ABS, and PC substrates used to assemble prefilled syringes, single-use devices, and auto, pen, and wearable injectors. MD® 1045-M adhesive is formulated to solve the challenges associated with needle orientation, material overflow, and long cure times.
Dymax MD® 1045-M is one-part, solvent-free, and 100% solids for an eco-friendly alternative to solvent-based adhesives. In addition, Dymax states the product’s low 475 centipoise viscosity flows easily onto components in ten seconds versus the current 30+ second standard. The material also cures tack-free with UV/Broad Spectrum light and is LED-curable at 365Nm in five seconds for faster, environmentally friendly processing.
This low-shrinkage adhesive exhibits a glass-like cure surface, resists yellowing, and withstands autoclave cleaning and Gamma and ETO sterilisation methods.
The low extractables material passes ISO 10993 cytotoxicity testing and meets essential biocompatibility standards for medical device applications. It is intended to help manufacturers increase productivity, reduce processing times, and exceed critical pull force and quality requirements.
