– ARONIX UVX-8032, UVX-8037, UVX-8092 and UVX-8093
Application
(Application to areas not exposed to UV light, such as underneath components)

Details
There are shadow-curable UV adhesives designed for assemblies in which UV light cannot reach parts of the bond line. Conventional UV-curable adhesives can remain uncured under components, in gaps, beneath opaque parts or a black mask, and between overlapped parts, creating incomplete cure, bond failure or insulation failure. This UV adhesive for shadow areas uses radical photopolymerization of specialty acrylates so that, after short UV irradiation, curing progresses from the exposed zone into hidden and hard-to-cure areas.

It supports solventless sealants targeting a low VOC sealant resin, high durability and exterior performance.
– ARUFON US Series
Application
The materials support use as a durable sealant plasticizer, building sealant additive, long-life sealant additive, and sealant formulation plasticizer for exterior sealants requiring weather resistance, waterproofing, airtightness, low modulus, flexibility, and resistance to bleeding and staining. The US Series therefore expands sealant formulation design from low-modulus flexibility to higher-modulus adhesive-type performance.
Details
ARUFON US Series is an alkoxysilyl-functional reactive plasticizer for sealants, developed as a liquid acrylic oligomer and plasticizer for modified silicone sealants. Produced by high-temperature continuous polymerization, it provides a high-solids, solvent-free route to a weather-resistant sealant plasticizer. Its alkoxysilyl group co-crosslinks with the modified silicone base resin during moisture curing, helping retain the plasticizer in the cured network and reduce extractable low-molecular-weight components. This makes the US Series a candidate for non-migrating plasticizer design, bleed-resistant sealant additives, stain-resistant sealant plasticizers, and long-life building sealants.
