Dymax Corporation is a leading manufacturer of advanced light-curable adhesives, coatings, oligomers, dispensing systems, and light-curing equipment. The products manufactured by Dymax products provide design engineers with tools to dramatically improve manufacturing efficiency and lower their costs.

THE DYMAX EDGE

At Dymax, we're committed to providing our customers with the solutions they need for their specific application challenges. Inherent in the Dymax Edge approach is the commitment to view our customers' challenges differently by listening, focusing, and using an entire toolbox of resources and expertise to deliver the most efficient solution. This expertise isn't limited to the formulation of chemistry or the calibration of a machine. Rather, it's defined by a depth and breadth of knowledge that allows us to devise innovative solutions based on an optimal balance of materials, chemistry, and equipment. The Dymax Edge is more than the combined resources of product, technology, and service. It's the fundamental belief that you best serve a customer when you look at the need from their perspective, not yours.

Application Expertise:

Our Application Engineers assist manufacturers with product and process design, testing, evaluation, and pre-production trials through the life of the assembly process. The Application Engineering lab is available to perform comprehensive bonding studies for manufacturers who are contemplating assembly with light-curable adhesives.

Light-Curable Products:

• Adhesives– for glass, plastic, metal, and ceramic
• Coatings– conformal (for electronics) and thick, decorative coatings
• Encapsulants– for electronics, especially on flexible circuits
• Gasketing Resins– for sealing against moisture, sound, and vibration
• Masking Materials – for substrate protection during coating, plating, and blasting processes
• Potting Compounds – less than 9.5 mm [0.295 in] deep

Oligomers:

• Multifunctional Acrylates – for rapid-cure coatings
• Polyether Urethane acrylates and Methacrylates – for adhesives and coatings that require toughness and non-yellowing
• Polyester Urethane acrylates and Methacrylates – for laminating and coating wood, glass, and metal

Conventional Arc-Bulb and LED Light-Curing Equipment:

• Spot Lamps – for addressing small-area curing
• Flood Lamps – for R&D or production curing of larger areas
• Conveyors– for large-scale production
• Radiometers – for measuring curing intensity levels and monitoring process parameters

Dispense Systems:

• Fluid Dispensing Systems – for low-to-medium viscosity fluids
• Syringe Dispensers – for accurate and consistent fluid dispense

KEY TECHNOLOGIES

• See-Cure Technology - patented built-in cure validation intentionally transitions the blue color of the adhesive to clear after it has cured building a visible safety factor into the assembly process.
• SpeedMask® Masking Resin - used in surface preparation and metal finishing operations where a barrier is needed to protect surfaces and cavities.
• Ultra-Red™ Fluorescing Technology – fluoresces bright red when exposed to low intensity UV light to enhance bond-line inspection processes and product authentication.
• LED-Curable Adhesives - specially formulated to provide fast to ultra-fast cure speeds when used with Dymax LED curing systems in order to accommodate specific assembly needs.
• LED Light-Curing Systems - offer many advantages over conventional spot- curing systems including no bulbs to change, cool cures, no warm-up, and constant intensity. The lamps generate curing energy using high-intensity LEDs and are used to cure coatings and adhesives.
• BlueWave® UV/Visible Light-Curing Systems - offer high intensity and user-friendly operation. They primarily emit UVA and blue visible light (300-450 nm) and are designed for light curing of adhesives, coatings, and encapsulants.

The company serves the assembly needs of the medical, electronic, optical, aerospace, automotive, appliance, metal finishing, and alternative energy markets worldwide.
