Product catalog summary
Overview of Optical Bonding Adhesives
Optical bonding adhesives are specialized adhesives that cure using light, primarily used in the assembly and joining of optical components such as lenses, mirrors, optical filters, and fibers. These adhesives are valued for their low refractive index and high light transmission, ensuring that they do not obscure images or obstruct the function of optical components.
Types and Applications
Optical bonding adhesives are used to bond various materials, including metals and plastics, and are particularly common in attaching glass to metal frames. They are also used in solar panels, semiconductor devices, and medical equipment, where they form strong bonds that can withstand sterilization processes.
Market Growth
The optical bonding adhesive industry has been experiencing steady growth, with the global market size estimated at $3.5 billion in 2016 and projected to reach $6 billion by 2022.
Benefits
The primary benefits of optical bonding adhesives include strong bonds with minimal distortion, faster processing without the need for an alignment layer, and environmental friendliness. They can be applied through various methods such as spraying, brushing, and dipping.
Bonding Process
The bonding process involves applying the adhesive to the surfaces to be bonded and then curing it with light. This causes reactive monomers in the adhesive to cross-link, forming a strong bond. The adhesive's refractive index matches that of the substrate, making the bond optically invisible.
Limitations
While optical bonding adhesives offer many advantages, they can only be used on certain types of surfaces and require curing to maintain their strength.
