Assured Bonding of Light Cure Adhesives
New technology quantifiably verifies degree of cure for
light cure adhesives.

as a systems provider for medical engineering lately developed the brand-new Loctite AssureCure system. The revolutionary technology combines a newly developed Loctite adhesive with a new monitoring system. This promises to provide a hitherto unrivalled level of reliability and precision in the curing of light cure adhesives as the basis for perfect bonding.

An easy to use, PC based interface allows you to use the Loctite Assure Cure equipment and Assure Cure Adhesive to detect the degree of cure of the adhesive.

The Loctite® AssureCure™ Monitoring System is designed to detect, measure, analyze, record and provide a degree of cure metric relative to the transition of specially formulated adhesives from a liquid to a solid (cured). Results can be displayed numerically, corresponding to the degree of cure, or as a pass/fail measurement. Once integrated into a production line, the Loctite® AssureCure™ system provides a reliable, quantitative measurement of the adhesive cure in less than one second. Directly correlated to the strength build of the adhesive, the Loctite® AssureCure™ measurement system provides assurance that the adhesive has cured completely and reached the desired strength for the target application.

By confirming that the adhesive used to bond the components has cured, the innovative system provides a reliable, in-line, non-destructive method. In particular the Loctite® AssureCure™ system offers significant value to manufacturers. It provides an in-line quality check on 100% of production parts and reduces extensive in-process quality checks and associated scrap components. The new Loctite® AssureCure™ system easily integrates into existing production lines downstream of the light curing operation and provides an immediate, non-destructive analysis of all bonded assemblies measured. Loctite AssureCure equipment is positioned directly after a production line’s existing light cure equipment and provides assurance that the adhesive has cured completely and reached the desired bond strength for the target application.

The matching Loctite® light cure adhesives can be provided in a range of viscosities, physical properties and package configurations. For medical device applications, Loctite® AssureCure™ adhesives meet strict ISO 10993 biocompatibility requirements.
