UV Adhesives Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Type, Category, Application and Geography
Ultra Violet (UV) adhesives are adhesives which cure (i.e. toughen or harden by crosslinking) on contact with UV light. It is a photochemical reaction that eliminates the necessity for heat or solvents for curing. This process offers various advantages over conventional curing methods such as for instance rapid cure speed and easy application. Enhanced physical properties such as for instance high bond strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance offer better product performance than alternatives. Furthermore, decrease in cure-in labor and waste further decreases costs.
Medical was the largest application segment of the UV Adhesives Market in 2015. Increasing aging population and innovation in medical procedures are likely to lead to increased demand for medical devices, such as for instance IV delivery systems, catheters, syringes, hearing aids, silicone rubber components, among others. Since UV adhesives are increasingly being utilized in the manufacturing of these units, the rise in the demand of the devices is likely to consequently lead to the growth of UV adhesives market.
UV adhesives are employed extensively for precise positioning/alignment of parts. These compounds may be employed for structural or temporary bonding. UV cure adhesives bind well to similar/dissimilar substrates, including metals, rubbers, glass, ceramics, and plastics such as for instance polycarbonates, acrylics, and phenolics. Specific grades offer optical clarity/translucency; dimensional stability; low shrinkage; and resistance to chemicals, fuels, solvents, and moisture. UV adhesives provide protection from environmental degradation from outdoor weathering to generally meet rigorous end user requirements.
UV adhesives centered on free radical curing acrylic chemistry are not suited to bonding fully opaque medical devices. This may lead to substitution of UV glues from visible ray or electron beam cured adhesives, that may hamper the UV adhesives market growth. Electron beam cured adhesives can be used to cure opaque substrates such as for instance paper, metallized paper, plastics and foil laminates. However, the large size and high cost of the electron beam equipment required has limited the use of these products.
