SEE-CURE TECHNOLOGY How do I know that sufficient adhesive has been dispensed? How do I know when it’s cured? Dymax adhesives containing See-Cure technology provide the ability to answer these questions. Uncured See-Cure adhesives are bright blue in color. This makes them easy to see after dispensing. to clear, indicating that sufficient energy was received by the adhesive to complete the curing process. This visual cure-indicator may initially be used to qualify the process and then to ensure that the process remains within the qualified parameters. During the light-curing process, the blue...
