The DYMAX Ultra-Red technology is based on the fact that many plastics naturally fluoresce blue under UV light – this minimizes the inspection advantages of using blue-fluorescing adhesives in parts assembly, red fluorescing adhesives however remain naturally clear until exposed to UV light, at which point they fluoresce bright red providing a vivid contrast that permits accurate bond-line inspection. The red fluorescence does not absorb the ...

The BlueWave 75 from Intertronics is a new high-power UV spot curing lamp, which provides the optimal combination of low operating cost with high-intensity output to accommodate a wide variety of bonding applications and UV cure adhesives. This lamp transmits less energy onto the substrates resulting in cooler UV curing, a feature especially beneficial in applications that are sensitive to heat. The DYMAX BlueWave 75 includes a unique feature whi...

Intertronics, together with their technology partner Fisnar, have successfully addressed one of the factors affecting the accuracy of dispensing high viscosity fluids with standard parallel-sided dispensing needles. Standard stainless steel needles have a steep pressure restriction at the part of their cross-section where the needle joins the hub, leading to a high pressure requirement to generate flow and a high residual pressure in the needle w...

The adhesives specialists at Intertronics have been involved for a long time in the development of LED-powered curing systems, which are continuing to evolve towards the replacement of the conventional lamp-style curing systems that have been the industry standard for more than twenty-five years. This growth in popularity of LED curing equipment is driven by promises of lower operating costs and “green” benefits. Experts are predicting LED ...

The BlueWave® LED Prime UVA high-intensity spot-curing system features many advantages over conventional spot-curing systems including no consumable bulbs to change, no warm-up, cool cures, and constant intensity for thousands of hours.

SpeedMask® 730-BT from Intertronics is a DYMAX masking resin, formulated to provide excellent surface protection during chemical milling/etching, plating, anodizing, and aggressive grit-blasting operations, thus aiding in the manufacturing, overhaul, repair and rework of turbine engine blades, vanes and other turbine components, as well as many other metal finishing applications. 730-BT is impervious to most acid and alkali solutions. This next-...

The Adhesives and Dispensing experts at Intertronics once again lead the market with the new DYMAX Multi-Cure 987 conformal coating which meets the requirements of MIL-1-46058C and IPC-CC-830B. It is specifically formulated for rapid room temperature cure when exposed to UV and/or visible light. Any coating in shadowed areas on densely populated circuit boards may be cured with heat. Based on DYMAX Multi-Cure 984-LVUF, the version 987 is designed...

Intertronics' 3-20794 is a new, See-Cure, colour-changing adhesive formulated with Ultra-Red fluorescing technology. This adhesive is designed for rapid assembling of plastic housings, laminations, and other applications typically used for appliance assembly. The bondable substrates include PC, PET, PS, PU, PVC, and ABS. DYMAX 3-20794 cures in fractions of a second when exposed to high-intensity UV light – enabling faster processing, greater o...

Leading supplier to the electronics industry Intertronics, is now focused on two new environmentally friendly Techspray Renew™ precision cleaners, designed specifically for electronics manufacturing applications: Eco-Stencil™ Cleaner and Eco-Oven™ Cleaner. Both are effective, safe and eco-friendly, with non-flammable, biodegradable, low VOC, zero GWP, non-ozone depleting characteristics.

Intertronics announced Dymax Cure-Point 9440-A/B silicone, which cures to depth in seconds upon exposure to UV/visible light to provide protection to electronic components and circuitry. It is a UV/visible light-curable silicone potting and sealing material designed for applications where fast cure, enhanced thermal performance and room-temperature shadowed-area cure are required. Cure-Point 9440-A/B has a ›90 day room temperature mix life.

For UV curing adhesives the BlueWave 200 UV curing spot lamp offers the highest intensity and the most user-friendly operation in the industry. A new, patent pending Intensity Adjustment feature also allows simple, manual intensity adjustment during initial UV process validation and production.

The “adhere” Intertronics range of dispensing equipment includes automatic, semi-automatic and robotic systems, hand held guns and all the consumables users are ever likely to need for their adhesives or other liquids like inks, coatings, greases or oils. So in order to help production engineers, they are offering a free download of “25 top dispensing tips” – considered an indispensible guide to the ins-and-outs of fluid dispensing, inc...

Intertronics have again brought forward an exciting development in fluid dispensing – this time the Fisnar DV509. Intended primarily for medical applications this is a lightweight diaphragm valve designed for precise flow control of low to medium viscosity liquids on a continuous 24/7 basis. The PTFE diaphragm separates the wetted parts from the air supply and therefore it is ideal for dispensing cyanoacrylates, reagents, UV adhesives, paints, ...

In some applications the weight of potting electronics to protect mechanically or environmentally can be a very significant part of the overall weight of installed equipment – sometimes this can be a problem.

How much adhesive has been applied and where? When is the adhesive fully cured?

Form-in-place (FIP) gaskets have been part of the mainstream enclosure industry for many years but the cost and physical size of robotic application has been a major constraint for SMEs – until now.
