Product Description

Permabond UV7220 is a one-component cationic epoxy with UV and heat curing — the rare combination of two curing mechanisms in a black pigmented adhesive for demanding industrial applications.

Unlike conventional UV acrylates, UV7220 utilizes a cationic epoxy chemistry—a variant that cures like a conventional epoxy resin with heat or UV light (365 nm), or with a combination of both methods. The cationic reaction is oxygen-independent—the adhesive cures reliably even in thick layers and under protective films.

The black pigmentation makes UV7220 the ideal choice for visible adhesive seams on dark substrates or for applications where the adhesive seam needs to blend in color. Low shrinkage, a tack-free surface, and excellent chemical and temperature resistance are further advantages.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Cationic epoxy with a triple curing mechanism — UV light (365 nm), heat, or a combination of both. One-component, solvent-free, excellent chemical and temperature resistance. Black pigmented for shadowing and visible adhesive seams.

Processing

1
Clean surfaces
Prepare bonding surfaces clean, dry, and free of grease — degrease with isopropanol or acetone. For aluminum/copper, lightly sand to remove the oxide layer. For plastics, check compatibility.
2
Apply adhesive thinly
Apply Permabond UV7220 thinly and evenly – directly from the bottle or using a dispensing device. Keep the adhesive protected from light. Avoid air bubbles.
3
Join and align components
Assemble quickly and precisely. For glass bonding, spread the adhesive into a thin film by applying pressure. Do not move components during UV curing.
4
Cure with UV light
Aim the UV lamp at the bond line. Curing time depends on lamp power, wavelength, and light transmission of the components — typically 1–5 seconds with a 30 W/cm² light guide system, or 5–15 seconds with a 4 mW/cm² low-power lamp.
5
Full strength after UV exposure
After complete UV curing, the components are immediately handleable. Final strength is achieved immediately after irradiation. For dual-cure products (UV + anaerobic), allow an additional 24 hours for complete anaerobic curing of shadow areas.

Important Notes

Not suitable for / Important notes
Store away from light. UV curing from 365 nm — standard UV lamps or LEDs required. Full specifications available from Permabond upon request.
Storage
Store at 5 to 25 °C and protect from direct light exposure. Curing begins under UV light — keep the bottle in the dark and only open under UV-blocked light.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond UV 7220

Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.

Permabond UV7220 is a cationic epoxy (UV + heat curing) adhesive with a viscosity of [missing value]. This black, one-component, solvent-free cationic epoxy cures under UV and heat curing conditions. The adhesive cures upon exposure to UV light in the 365 nm spectral range, providing instant curing "on demand".

Permabond UV7220 cures in the 365 nm spectral range. Standard mercury vapor UV lamps, LED UV lamps with a suitable wavelength, or UV light guide systems are all suitable. For LED lamps, the maximum wavelength of the LED must be matched to the curing spectrum of the adhesive—we are happy to advise you on selecting the right lamp.

The UV curing time of Permabond UV7220 depends on the lamp power, wavelength, and light transmittance of the components. Typical curing times range from seconds to a few minutes.

Permabond UV7220 typically bonds glass, metals, and plastics. See TDS for substrate-specific strength values.

Permabond UV7220 is a cationic epoxy UV+heat dual-cure (black) (— viscosity, — elongation at break). Permabond UV7138 is a special UV adhesive (—, — elongation at break) — engineering adhesive (specs on request).

When stored at 5 to 25 °C and protected from light, Permabond UV7220 is stable until the printed expiration date. IMPORTANT: UV adhesives cure upon contact with light — always store the bottle in the dark and only open it briefly under UV-blocked light. Daylight-stable variants (e.g., UV675) can be used briefly under ambient light.

From the Permabond UV range, select according to substrate, viscosity, and special properties: Permabond UV7220 (Cationic Epoxy UV+Heat Dual-Cure (black)); Permabond UV7138 (Special UV Adhesive); Permabond UV681 (Conformal Coating); Permabond UV683 (Doming Coating). For shaded areas (where UV light does not fully reach the adhesive gap), a dual-cure variant such as Permabond UV7141 (UV + Anaerobic) should be used.
