Product catalog summary
Product Description
Hernon Ultrabond 55391 is a UV curable adhesive known for its excellent impact resistance and adhesion to various substrates including composites, metals, glass, ceramics, and plastics such as polyester, PVC, cellulose acetate, and nylon.
Product Benefits
  • UV fluorescence for in-process inspection.
  • Color change from blue to clear after UV exposure for process verification.
  • 100% solid system with no solvents.
  • Excellent adhesion and environmental resistance.
  • Good gap filling properties and no shrinkage.
  • Rapid room temperature cure.
Typical Properties (Uncured)
  • Chemical Type: Modified Acrylic Ester

  • Temperature range: -55 to 135°C (-65 to 275°F)
Electrical Properties
  • Dielectric Strength: 36 kV/mm
  • Dielectric Constant at 1 kHz: 4.25
  • Dissipation Factor at 1 kHz: 0.03
  • Volume Resistivity: 1.7 x 1015 Ω·cm
General Information
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen or oxygen-rich systems and should not be used as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials. For safe handling, consult the MSDS.
Factors Affecting UV Curing
  • Dark surfaces and thicker films require longer cure times.
  • Full range UV lamps provide faster cures.
  • Light intensity decreases with distance from the UV source.
  • Some clear plastics may contain UV inhibitors.
Precautions When Using UV Lamps
  • Never look directly at the UV source.
  • Wear protective UV goggles and clothing.
  • Use in a well-ventilated area to avoid ozone exposure.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry location between 46°F to 82°F (8°C to 28°C). Do not return unused material to the original container to prevent contamination.

High Performance Adhesives and Sealants Technical Data Sheet December 2009 Ultrabond® 55391 Product Description Hernon® Ultrabond® 55391 is a UV curable adhesive product that provides excellent impact resistance, and adhesion to a wide selection of substrates including composites, metals, glass, ceramics, and plastics such as polyester, PVC, cellulose acetate, and nylon. Product Benefits • UV fluorescence for in-process inspection • Color changes from blue to clear after UV exposure for process verification • 100% solid system (no solvents) • Excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces • Excellent environmental resistance • Good gap filling properties • No shrinkage due to solvent evaporation • Rapid room temperature cure Typical Properties (Uncured) Typical Properties (Cured) General Information This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials. For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Factors Affecting UV Curing • Dark surfaces lengthen cure time. • Full range (UV-A, B & C) lamps provide faster cures than filtered sources. • All UV sources degrade with use. Check output with a radiometer. • Thicker films require longer cures. • Light intensity decreases as distance from UV source increases. • Some clear plastics may contain UV inhibitors.
