FAQ Entries » Wire Tacking UV Adhesive

Optimax® grade 6509 formulated to secure fine wires and components during assembly with controlled rheology, low exotherm, and rapid UV cure.

What are Optimax® wire tacking UV adhesives?

Grade 6509 is formulated to secure fine wires and components during assembly, curing quickly under UV light. Key engineering properties include fast tack upon UV exposure, controlled rheology (no slump), low exotherm, non-conductive composition, and clean handling characteristics for automation. Unlike full-strength structural adhesives, tacking adhesives provide just enough bond strength to hold components in place while enabling later assembly steps such as soldering, overmoulding, or potting.

Why choose UV wire tacking adhesives?

Instant fixation without heat reduces stress on sensitive components and supports high throughput.

What are common applications?

Sensor manufacturing
Electronics and PCB assembly
Medical devices — wire leads in probes and sensors
Automotive wire harnessing

Can it be automated?

Yes, compatible with automated dispensers and UV/LED cure stations.

What ensures best performance?

Adequate UV exposure and proper surface preparation guarantee reliable adhesion.
