PANACOL: Biocompatible UV Adhesive for Soft Plastics
Vitralit UV 7030 is a one-component, solvent-free, UV-curable acrylic adhesive.
Panacol has developed a new UV-curable acrylic adhesive that is certified to USP Class VI biocompatibility standards for medical device assembly applications. According to Panacol, Vitralit® UV 7030 features high elongation at break, excellent adhesion to difficult-to-bond plastics, and rapid curing under UV light.
The various material selections and pairings of flexible tubing and rigid connectors often create significant assembly challenges in high-volume production. Materials used to create infusion lines, catheters, and similar medical devices may include TPU, TPE, PEN, polyamides, Pebax®, polycarbonate, ABS, and PEEK.
