Are you assembling temperature-sensitive components with shaded regions? If so, your choices of adhesives are limited. For your demanding applications, ACW offers UV-Snap Cure epoxies, adhesives developed for optoelectronics, electronics and semi-conductor packaging where the parts are opaque or have shaded areas and the components are temperature sensitive. UV-Snaps are one-component epoxies that are room Read More…

Using UV-Snap Cures
ACW’s UV-snap cure epoxy adhesives offer a unique bonding approach for components that contain shaded areas and parts that are temperature sensitive. The bonding sequence discussed on the UV-Snap Cure page and shown below is somewhat complicated, but one has several options when using the UV-snaps. The second UV step can be skipped if one Read More…
Surface Mounted Device (SMD) Adhesive
ACW’s Snap-Cure epoxy DA-101R is specifically designed for attaching surface mounted devices (SMD) to PCB. It is colored red to provide high contrast with green PCB, it can be dispensed by syringe or screen printing, and it is a Snap-Cure adhesive that cures at low temperatures. Importantly, DA101-R has Tg = 157 °C, and it Read More…
UV-Snap Cure
ACW’s UV-Snap Cure Adhesives are epoxy-only adhesives that are stable at room temperature but cure rapidly when activated by UV light. In some ways, they are similar to conventional UV Cure adhesives. The difference is that whereas conventional UV Cure adhesives will either polymerize in seconds (acrylates) or form a surface skin quickly (epoxies), a Read More…
