Henkel has launched a novel medical-grade light-cure adhesive designed for devices that are to be worn on the body. The new product is formulated without IBOA (isobornyl acrylate) or any other known skin sensitizing monomers. The adhesive is also formulated to conform to EU MDR 2017 regulations concerning use of CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction) substances in medical devices, making it a robust option for new designs.
The newly developed adhesive is available in two different grades. Loctite WT 3001 and Loctite WT 3003 have both been tested according to ISO 10993 standards, ensuring a high level of safety and performance for users.
