FAQ Entries » Glass Bonding UV Adhesives

Optimax® glass bonding adhesives including 3088, 3116, 3806, 3127, 3111, and 3509 for strong, rapid UV curing bonds to glass, metals, and selected plastics.

What are Optimax® glass bonding UV adhesives?

Optimax® glass bonding adhesives including 3088, 3116, 3806, 3127, 3111, and 3509 provide strong adhesion to glass, metals, and selected plastics, curing rapidly under UV light. Because glass is inherently transparent to UV and visible wavelengths, UV adhesives are particularly well suited for optical, architectural, electronic, and medical glass assemblies.

What applications are these used for?

  • Glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal bonding
  • Automotive glass assemblies
  • Industrial glass manufacture
  • Architectural or decorative glass elements
  • Optical lenses and prisms
  • Display and touchscreen bonding
  • Medical diagnostic components

Why select 3088 for structural bonding?

3088 is a medium-high viscosity structural adhesive delivering impact-resistant bonds and often achieving substrate failure in testing.

Can these adhesives bond plastics or metals?

Yes, they offer strong adhesion to plastics and metals, making them versatile for mixed-material assemblies.

How do I choose the correct grade?

Consider viscosity, flexibility, shock resistance, and substrate type: low viscosity for wicking, high viscosity for gap filling, thermal expansion compatibility, and environmental resistance.
