Dual curing Vitralit® adhesives are ideal for bonding lens stacks as well as attaching glass and rod lenses in endoscopes. High strength bonds are formed between glass and metal components that offer biocompatibility, good chemical resistance, and minimal shrinkage. Their high glass transition temperatures ensure operating stability and reliability. These adhesives are compatible with all common sterilization processes.

UV adhesives for bonding stainless steel needles or cannulas in glass or plastic syringes are solvent-free and fluorescent for a better process control. Suitable for USP Class VI and/or ISO 10993 certification, they offer the ability to bond PC, PVC, PP or ABS to stainless steel and other metals. Fully cured, they withstand high needlepull out forces even after several sterilization cycles. UV blocked plastics can still be bonded and cured with long-wave light.

Elecolit® electrically conductive adhesives are a suitable alternative to soldering processes. Their lower curing temperatures permit these conductive adhesives to be used for attaching temperature-sensitive chips and flexible conductors. In addition to forming electrical connections these mostly silver-filled adhesives offer heat dissipation, which reduces thermal stress on electronic components.

Hoenles broad line of medical device adhesives enables manufacturers to select the exact adhesive properties required for their designs. For medical wearables, Panacol provides solutions for the complete device, including needle bonding, SMD packaging, protective coating, and housing assembly, Devices such as glucose monitors can be assembled quickly and reliably in high volume production processes. Our experienced technical team is ready to assist with recommendations for adhesives, curing systems, and dispensing options.

For bonding and sealing transparent polycarbonate or acrylic housing halves, such as dialysis filters or blood oxygenators, Hoenle offers Vitralit® brand light-curing one component adhesives. Multiple viscosity ranges are available to fill the smallest channels as well as larger bond line gaps. Components are joined within seconds using LED-UV or LED visible light curing systems. Structalit® 2-component adhesives are suitable for materials not transparent to UV and visible light. All adhesives are solvent-free and compatible with gamma, EtO and e-beam sterilization processes.

Adhesives for sensors in medical technology are used for environmental protection, shielding, electrical connection and heat dissipation. These products meet ISO 10993 and/or USP Class IV standards, are solvent-free and withstand common sterilization processes. Vitralit® adhesives can be cured with UV or visible light for a precise, process-reliable and fast production. Shadowed areas of components can be safely cured with dual-cure adhesives.

Bonding of respiratory materials, catheters and other diagnostic products can be accomplished quickly and reliably using UV adhesives from Hoenle. The adhesives meet the requirements of ISO 10993 and/or USP Class VI and bond not only the common plastics such as polycarbonate, PVC or ABS, but also substrates that are difficult to bond, including PEEK, PE and PP. They are solvent-free and highly resistant to moisture. Due to the products fluorescing under UV light, fast, efficient and cost-saving assembly processes can be realized.

Vitralit® UV- and LED-UV-curing acrylate-based adhesives are suitable for connecting infusion lines or catheter tubing to stopcock valves, filters and adapters. They enable fast cycle times and process-reliable production. They are biocompatible and extremely resistant to chemicals and liquids. Depending on the application, they can be adjusted in viscosity to meet the required flexibility or strength for reliable bonding.

The bluepoint LED from Hoenle is the latest addition to the bluepoint curing system family.

The UV Meter from Hoenle is a uv measurement device which can be used for both broad spectrum UV and LED light systems. A wide range of interchangeable sensors accommodate the measurement of various equipment types and wavelengths. Measurements can be evaluated on a PC or with a PLC.
