It cures rapidly without oxygen inhibition upon exposure to 405 nm LED light, followed by a short 30-45 minute heat cure at 90-95°C, making it well-suited for bonding heat sensitive components. LED415DC90Med passes ISO 10993-5 requirements for non-cytotoxicity and resists common medical sterilants, including glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid, ethylene oxide, and gamma radiation. Unlike conventional dual-cure adhesives that limit light penetration to approximately 1 mm, LED415DC90Med can partially cure or fixture sections up to 6 mm deep when exposed to 405 nm LED light at the appropriate intensity and for a sufficient duration. This deeper cure capability enables the fixturing of opaque components by allowing light penetration through the adhesive from the sides. A subsequent cure at 90-100°C for 30-60 minutes is recommended to optimize strength and overall performance. LED415DC90Med has a thixotropic index of 5.53 at room temperature. It exhibits a tensile strength of 5,500-6,500 psi, a tensile modulus of 450,000-550,000 psi, and a lap shear strength exceeding 1,000 psi (aluminum to aluminum). This rigid system cures to a Shore D hardness of 85-90 with an elongation of 1-3% at 75°F. It is serviceable from -80°F to +350°F, electrically non-conductive (volume resistivity > 10¹4 ohm-cm), and bonds well to a variety of substrates, including plastics, glass, and metals. LED415DC90Med is available in syringes, ½ pint, pint, and quart containers. Master Bond Medical Grade Adhesives Master Bond's medical-grade systems are specifically formulated to comply with USP Class VI and/or ISO 10993-5 standards. Formulations include epoxy, silicone, UV- or LED-curable, epoxy-polyurethane blend, and cyanoacrylate chemistries.
