NEW PRODUCT
FAST-CURE, LOW-SHRINK ADHESIVE FOR OPTIC ASSEMBLY ELIMINATES PARTS MOVEMENT
New from Intertronics is a fast-cure, low-shrink adhesive for optic assembly which eliminates parts movement – DYMAX OP-67-LS opto-mechanical adhesive cures in seconds for bonding of optical components, whilst its low-shrink nature virtually eliminates movement during curing and subsequent thermal cycling. OP-67-LS offers the ability to “cure on demand” with exposure to longwave UV and visible light, allowing maximum flexibility in positioning parts prior to cure. OP-67-LS features 0.2% linear shrinkage upon cure.
OP-67-LS offers superior moisture resistance, very low outgassing, and adhesion to a variety of substrates including metal, glass, ceramic and polycarbonate, allowing its use in many critical and demanding applications such as fibre-optic “V” groove bonding, positioning laser diodes, fibre pig tailing, transceiver potting, VCSEL positioning and mounting active devices, or passive couplers, prisms and other optical device assemblies.
