Master Bond Inc. has available a fast growing family of one component UV curable polymer systems for high performance coatings, adhesives, sealants, potting and encapsulation. They include polyurethanes, epoxies, polyesters and acrylics. They vary in thicknesses, hardness, chemical resistance, strength, clarity, etc. When exposed to a suitable UV light source, UV curable compounds usually cure in a matter of seconds. The Master Bond products are not oxygen inhibited and cure at ambient temperatures. Environmentally friendly, they are 100% reactive liquids which do not contain any solvents or other volatiles. Upon cure they exhibit minimal shrinkage. Additionally, they are strong, durable, and offer superior temperature and chemical resistance. If required, special formulations can be developed to best meet specific product application and performance needs. One new "dual cure" compound can be cured by exposure to either UV light or heat.

Master Bond UV curable compounds are one component systems and require no mixing. They have a long shelf life when stored at ambient temperatures in the absence of UV light. They have excellent bond strength to metals, ceramics, many plastics and most rubbers. UV curable compounds are particularly suitable for automated continuous manufacturing processes because of their fast cure speeds.
