Permabond® 4UV80 – UV-curing adhesive for medical devices
Permabond® 4UV80 is a single-component, fast-curing UV adhesive that has been specially developed for the requirements of medical technology. It is characterized by its excellent adhesion to common plastics and metals and is ISO10993-certified (cytotoxicity tested). Thanks to its high shear strength and fast curing under UV light, this adhesive is ideal for the mass production of medical devices.
The formulation is solvent-free (100% solids) and ensures a clear, strong bond after curing. In addition, Permabond® 4UV80 is sterilization resistant (EtO and gamma) and therefore suitable for repeated sterilization cycles.
product features

- ABS
-
Various metals
Typical areas of application
- Bonding of medical devices and instruments
- Assembly of plastic and metal components in medical technology
- Applications requiring repeated sterilization cycles (EtO and gamma)
-
Equipment manufacturing in the laboratory and diagnostics sector
Processing instructions
- Thoroughly clean, dry, and degrease surfaces.
- Apply adhesive with pinpoint accuracy (automated dosing possible).
- Cure with UV light (365–400 nm) – the curing time depends on the lamp power, distance, and material permeability.
- Pre-treatment is recommended for plastics that are difficult to bond (e.g., PP, PE).
- Storage: 5–25 °C in original container
