Adhesives and sealants specialist Intertronics has supplied Process Instruments (Pi), a water analyser instrument manufacturer, with high performance flexible epoxy IRS 2125. The versatile adhesive offered performance benefits as a thread locker on flow cells and an IP68 rated sealant on sensors.

Process speed and control are two of the many benefits that UV curing adhesives can bring to manufacturers bonding medical plastics. To build an accurate and repeatable new process, all process variables need to be understood, so they can be eliminated or kept within acceptable tolerances. Here Peter Swanson, Managing Director of Intertronics, explains how medical device manufacturers can achieve a reliable and repeatable UV curing adhesive process.
