Overview

Optimax® glass bonding UV adhesives deliver optically clear, structurally robust bonds for glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal assemblies. Grades 3088, 3116, 3806, 3127, 3111, and 3509 address a broad spectrum of glass bonding requirements — from high-strength structural applications to optical assembly and decorative glazing.

Glass is inherently transparent to UV and visible wavelengths, making it an ideal substrate for UV adhesive systems. The light passes directly through the glass to cure the adhesive at the interface, enabling fast, precise cure without clamping forces or heat. Fast curing, exceptional optical clarity, and long-term durability make Optimax® glass bonding adhesives trusted by UK and EU manufacturers across automotive, architectural, optical, and display sectors.

Key Benefits

High optical clarity — no hazing or discolouration
Strong structural adhesion and long-term bond durability
Excellent moisture and environmental resistance
Fast, controlled UV cure — eliminates extended fixture times
Suitable for glass-to-glass, glass-to-metal, and glass-to-plastic joints

Grade Highlights

Grade 3088 is a medium-high viscosity structural adhesive that regularly achieves substrate failure in tensile testing — the glass breaks before the bond does. It is the recommended choice for structural and impact-resistant assemblies. Lower viscosity grades suit wicking applications and precision optical bonding where minimal adhesive volume is required.

Applications

Glass-to-glass bonding — decorative, structural, and furniture
Automotive glass assemblies — windshields and light housings
Architectural and structural glazing
Optical lens and prism bonding
Display and touchscreen manufacturing
Medical diagnostic and laboratory glass components
Glass-to-plastic bonding — PMMA, polycarbonate
Industrial electronics, lighting, and appliance sectors
