At Qosina, we understand the convenience of getting all your project components from one single source. This allows you to speed your design, testing and validation processes, and get your device to market much quicker.
We’re pleased to offer you a selection of instant and UV-curable acrylate adhesive solutions for bonding your medical device assemblies.
Use our interactive Adhesive Finder to find the appropriate solution for your application. Choose adhesives with low bloom and low odor qualities, and varying degrees of viscosity, shear strength and fixture time.
Instant Cyanoacrylate
- Cures instantly, fast-setting
- Low to high viscosities
- Low odor and low bloom formulations
UV-Curable Acrylate
- Cures with UV light source
- High to medium viscosities
Medical device assembly applications vary widely and commonly involve bonding many different materials, like plastic, glass and metal. Adhesives for these applications must be compatible with direct or indirect contact with the body, and may be required to withstand multiple sterilizations. Certain substrates or materials may even require the use of primers or other surface preparation in order to achieve satisfactory adhesion; these adhesives are designed for general purpose bonding on all types of substrates. Whether you need a bonding agent with low bloom or low odor characteristics, or your application requires varying degrees of viscosity, shear strength, and fixture time, our line of instant and light-cured adhesives deliver hassle-free bonding.
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Cyanoacrylate is a clear, strong-bonding adhesive that dries very quickly. When a cyanoacrylate is in its uncured form, it is known as a monomer. After it is cured, it is known as a polymer (or plastic) resin. It is more commonly known as “super glue,” but the H.B. Fuller medical cyanoacrylate products offer customers a number of distinct features. The H.B. Fuller technical data sheets provide greater detail of technical specifications and product features.
Yes, the 4 major types of cyanoacrylate are:
1. methyl 2-cyanoacrylate
2. ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate (generically known as superglue)
3. H.B. Fuller offers n-butyl cyanoacrylate (used in medical applications)
4. H.B. Fuller offers 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (also used in medical applications)
Substrate surfaces should be clean and dry before applying H.B. Fuller cyanoacrylates. All dirt, dust, oil, etc. should be removed.
Our new adhesive product line pairs perfectly with our Build-It-Yourself Assemblies resource, a visual method to help you easily find and order components for your next design project. We created a simple and intuitive format that allows you to download a bill of materials for design planning, plus related documentation needed for regulatory filings. You can then request component samples and place your order. BIY Assemblies are perfect for building bench model prototypes.
