- Robust physical properties
- Provides excellent protection from the environment
Master Bond UV15X-2GT is a one component UV curable glob top, featuring easy handling and very fast curing. It is a thixotropic paste with reasonable flow that dispenses readily from a syringe. It bonds well to a wide variety of substrates. Upon curing after exposure to UV light it will provide excellent protection to components and chips on circuit boards. It does so by forming a seal against moisture and many chemicals. It provides a physical barrier as well. UV15X-2GT has inherent toughness and will resist thermal cycling, and mechanical and thermal shocks. It is also a superb thermal and electrical insulator. Some other desirable attributes are a service temperature range of -80°F to 300°F. After curing, its color can best be described as translucent.
The most attractive feature of UV15X-2GT is its easy handling and rapid curing. It will fully cure upon exposure to UV light at 365 nm in thicknesses up to 1/4 inch. The intensity of light sources can vary but at 200 watts/inch, cure times ranging from 20 to 30 seconds up to a couple of minutes are not unreasonable. The cure time depends upon the thickness of the layer being cured as well as the intensity of the light source.
