Dymax conveyor systems use high- intensity light sources for fast curing of adhesives, coatings, inks, and encap- sulants. UVCS bench-top conveyors can be outfitted with one, two, or four lamps, or for higher energy requirements, can be configured with microwave-driven light sources. All configurations have adjustable belt speeds of 1 to 32 fpm, and adjustable lamp-to-belt distance to address a variety of application features shortwave or longwave medium-pressure bulbs and/or an IR-field. The distance between the bulb and the belt is adjustable, as is the belt conveyor is equipped with a...

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.
