Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic energy invisible to humans. UV light falls below visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum, so it does not trigger the natural defenses of the eyes, such as pupil dilation experienced with bright visible light. For this reason, it is important to use personal protective equipment and not to disable any safety controls designed into the UV light source. Many people often mistake the bright light coming off these systems as harmful, but in reality, what they are seeing is harmless visible light.

Bostik – one of the world’s largest adhesive and sealant companies – developed a new range of innovative engineering adhesives for bonding applications that require fast fixturing, coating or surface cure. Born2Bond™ Light Lock MV, HV and Gel are patented†, low-odor, low-blooming, dual-curing (contact and light curing) cyanoacrylate adhesives.

9771 light-curable conformal coating for use on critical PCBs in missiles, satellites, and spacecraft has received a prestigious NASA MAPTIS material number, 09841.

An RFID (radio frequency identification) is a tagging device that transfers information to an RFID computer program to keep track of and communicate with products and people. The tags are “smart” in that they can store all kinds of information including pages of data, descriptions, and serial numbers. RFIDs do not require a power source like a GPS system, but instead use radio waves to transmit their data.

If a gaseous vapor is being emitted from the adhesive or coating on your part during the light-curing process or when exposed to extreme conditions after cure, you are likely seeing the phenomenon called outgassing or off-gassing.
