SD-lOO DIGITAL SYRINGE DISPENSER The BlueWave® LED Prime UVA light- curing system delivers maximum curing energy up to 15 W/cm2 through liquid- filled or fiber-optic lightguides. This design provides more curing energy while also eliminating the safety concerns associated with high heat generated by units with The environmentally friendly system includes a feature which enables users to adjust intensity output and assist with process validation and control, while the relatively narrow frequency band produced by LEDs generates cooler curing temper- atures at the substrate level. The Prime is...

REFERENCE TABLES The following tables provide additional information about the Dymax adhesives in this guide. Slightly Thixotropic Highly Thixotropic When choosing a viscosity, consideration should be given to how the adhesive must flow (or not flow) on the part after the adhesive is applied. Part geometry, process design, and assembly speed and method should all be considered when selecting viscosity. Viscosity is a material's resistance to flow. Low-viscosity adhesives flow more readily than high- viscosity adhesives. Thixotropic gels flow very slowly and are recommended when adhesive...

An adhesive should be chosen according to the needs of the application and joint design. WELL CONFIGURATION A hub that is flared at the distal end is described as a "well" configuration. Filling the well with adhesive secures the needle in place. In many cases the hubs are opaque but can be cured from above so UV light is not required to pass through the plastic. In the "well" design, adhesion to both the hub substrate and cannula are of critical importance. The well in this configuration is usually large enough to permit using mid-range viscosities. Refer to the Substrate Bonding Guide on...
