Glass Bonding and Moisture Resistance

Cyanoacrylates are expensive adhesives that tend to be used for the assembly of small parts, where speed of assembly is a prime 

They bond a wide range of rubbers, plastics and metals and are ideal, easy-to-use systems with good performance as long as their inherent limitations are recognised. 

Henkel-Loctite recently developed an interesting alternative type of system by making cyanoacrylate adhesives that also cure with UV radiation [52]. This type of system combines the ability of cyanoacrylates to cure virtually instantly in small gap situations and also to cure by UV in exposed areas. This system is expected to be used in many applications in rapid product assembly such as in the medical device industry.
