Company Information

BlueWave® QX4 V2.0 LED Spot Curing System
Delivering precise spot cures with consistent intensity, the BlueWave® Q4 V2.0 LED spot-curing system is comprised of a controller with a large touchscreen interface and up to 4 LED heads. The end-of-wand curing unit offers irradiance up to 23 W/cm2 intensity and flexible positioning of LED heads for accurate 360° light cures of hard-to-reach areas on complex geometries.
9803 Low Shrink Adhesive for Active Alignment of Camera Modules
Dymax 9803 low-shrinkage cationic epoxy is specifically designed for the alignment of camera modules, optical components, LiDAR (light detection and ranging), and other ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) assemblies used in automotive applications. The product cures very fast primarily with LED or broad-spectrum light or UV light only. 9803 also features a low-temperature (80-85°C) heat-cure for shadow areas or where heat-only cure is preferred.
Biocompatible Adhesives for Medical Wearable Device Assembly
Formulated without materials of concern, like IBOA and TPO, the Dymax MW-series of light-curable adhesives are specifically designed for medical wearable assembly applications where proximity to skin and sensitivity is a concern. This portfolio of products passes ISO 10993 for sensitization, irritation, and cytotoxicity without compromising adhesion or aging performance.
Fluorescing Adhesive Helps Manufacturer Solve Bond Failure Issue
A medical manufacturer was forced to shut down their production line after they began having issues with field failures. Hoping to figure out what was causing the bond failure, they sent the faulty parts to Dymax for inspection. With just the use of a black light, the Application Engineering team was able to quickly figure out what the problem was and get the company's production line back up and running.
Radiometer Calibration Services for UV Light-Curing Equipment
Radiometers are crucial quality-assurance tools for anyone using light-curing equipment. They allow users to monitor UV intensity or dose in order to maintain an accurate curing process. For this reason, it is important to ensure radiometers are always operating at peak performance. Users should have their radiometers recalibrated every 6-12 months. The Dymax equipment services group can provide quick radiometer recalibration, with typical turn-around times of less than one week.
1040-M Autoclave-Resistant Medical Adhesive
MD® 1040-M adhesive is formulated to bond, pot, or encapsulate medical devices that require repeated sterilization. Designed to be autoclave resistant for more than 100 cycles, 1040-M is ideal for surgical tools and devices that are sterilized using autoclave or STERRAD plasma sterilization. This material also offers extremely low water absorption (0.5%), and bonds to various substrates including stainless steel, aluminum, glass, PP/PE, and PCB.
Camera Manufacturer Reduces Processing Time by 79%
A manufacturer was looking for an alternative adhesive for their automotive camera module line. Their current active alignment process was slow, driving down throughput. Dymax was able to offer a solution using 9803 low shrink epoxy that allowed the manufacturer to reduce their overall processing time by 79%, as well as achieve higher bond strength, a reduction in shrinkage, and lower shipping and handling costs.
BlueWave AX-550 2.0 LED Flood Curing System
Get high-intensity LED light curing in a compact size! The BlueWave® AX-550 2.0 flood-curing system combines an emitter, controller, and power supply into one compact unit, eliminating the bulk and cost of connection cables and other miscellaneous parts. Quiet and efficient, it is available with a 365, 385, or 405 nm emitter that provides a sizable 5" x 5" curing area. This curing lamp can also be easily incorporated into automated assembly lines.
SpeedMask Maskants for Orthopaedic Implant Surface Treatment
SpeedMask temporary protective coatings can seal and protect machined, ground, or polished surfaces during tumbling, peening, abrading, plating, and plasma-spray coatings, as well as cleaning. They are solvent-free and can be dispensed and cured with light in just seconds. Available in burn-off and peelable grades, orthopedic maskants are easily removed and leave surfaces residue free.
BlueWave FX-1250 LED Flood Curing Lamp
This high intensity flood LED-curing system delivers true, high irradiance LED light for improved speed, depth, and fullness of cure. The system generates over 2 W/cm2 of light intensity with Dymax LED emitters (365, 385, or 405 nm wavelength) in a large 5" x 5" curing area. It also has an enhanced controller and large high-contrast 7-inch display screen.
MD Multipurpose Adhesives for Medical Device Assembly
Dymax 1000-series adhesives are solvent-free and cure within seconds upon exposure to UV and visible light, permitting bonding of UV-inhibited and tinted plastics. These medical-grade adhesives are ISO 10993 approved and ideal for bonding a variety of substrates found in medical reservoirs and housings, respiratory devices, needles and syringes, transducers, tube sets and fitting, wearable devices, and other medical disposables.
Light and Moisture-Curable Conformal Coating
Dymax 9483 dual-cure, light- and moisture-curable conformal coating provides superior protection of rigid and flexible printed circuit boards, sensors, control modules, and miscellaneous components found in automotive, appliance, consumer electronics, and aerospace and defense applications. When tested, 9483 displayed excellent performance in a variety of tests including thermal cycling, heat/humidity, salt spray, and chemical corrosion testing.

Temporary UV-curable maskants provide reliable surface protection under harsh conditions and are an ideal choice for many surface treatment and machining operations. This white paper discusses the different types of masking resins, how they work, the applications they are used for, and benefits of using them versus traditional masking methods such as lacquers, waxes, tapes, and customized boots, plugs, or caps.
Ultraviolet (UV) LED technologies have progressed very rapidly in recent years, in both performance and cost. As a result, the measurement equipment and methods for UV LED curing systems are required to be well understood. This paper focuses on the measurement and characterization of the UV LED curing systems, particularly in the UVA range. Moreover, the risks and safety concerns of UV light will be discussed in the paper with a focus on illuminating the inherent advantage of LED.
