Precision UV-Curable Adhesives
(AT4291A, AT9290F)
Features
Low shrinkage during curing (3% or less).
Low thermal expansion coefficient (2 * / or less).
Adhesion/fixation at submicron levels is possible
because displacement of bonded subjects during curing or
from temperature changes is so small.
Turns transparent when cured (AT9290F).
Easy to check the degree of curing and able to cure
large depth (AT9290F).
