LM-142-NI-10: Optical Coatings / Adhesives
LM-142-NI-10 is low modulus (highly flexible) low refractive index UV curable coating/adhesive which do not require inert atmosphere during the curing process. The material is optimized for curing by both UV LED and UV Mercury lamps. This experimental series contain products of different modulus. This product is characterized by excellent adhesion to silica type products and good retention of adhesion after exposure to water and 85°/85RH conditions.

* Very strong adhesion. Adhesion is reduced by slowing speed to avoid cohesive failure.
The product is supplied pre-filtered to below 1 micron particles.
Storage
- Avoid unnecessary exposure to ambient light and moisture.
- Long term storage should be at ambient conditions of 10-30ºC.
- The shelf life is 6 months in sealed bottles.
Application
Curing can be achieved by any source of UV at 300-400nm. Typically, a dose of 1000-2000 mJ/cm2 is necessary.
Keep the bottle closed in all times when not in use. The material is sensitive to moisture. Absorption of moisture may cause haze.
