Product Description

Permabond UV632 is the low-viscosity urethane methacrylate variant of the UV plastics range — combining wicking ability with toughened strength for tight tolerance fits with dynamic loading.

With a viscosity of 200–400 mPa·s, UV632 is low-viscosity and can flow into tightly toleranced plastic fits via capillary action. The urethane methacrylate chemistry provides higher elongation at break and impact strength than pure methacrylate UV adhesives.

Polycarbonate affinity leads to substrate failure above 7 N/mm². Reliable bonding of PET and acrylic is also possible. Long-wavelength curing (365–420 nm) allows bonding of UV-stabilized substrates.

APPLICATION PROFILE

Low-viscosity urethane methacrylate variant — combines the wicking properties of UV630 with the impact resistance of urethane chemistry. Ideal for tight-tolerance plastic fits under dynamic loads.

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 UV632 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.

Store away from light.
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 UV632

Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.

Permabond UV632 is a urethane methacrylate (UV-curing, long-wavelength) adhesive with a viscosity of 200–400 mPa·s @ 20 rpm. This low-viscosity urethane methacrylate UV adhesive is toughened and elasticized for tight-tolerance plastic fits. The adhesive cures upon irradiation with UV light in the spectral range of 365–420 nm—curing in seconds, "on demand.".

Permabond UV632 cures in the spectral range of 365–420 nm. 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 of Permabond UV632 depends on the lamp power, wavelength, and light transmittance of the components. Typical curing times range from seconds to a few minutes.

Permabond UV632 bonds reliably to: Polycarbonate: >7 N/mm² (substrate failure); Acrylic: >3 N/mm²; PET: >4 N/mm². For thermoplastic substrates, we recommend testing compatibility before series production — release agents on injection-molded parts can impair adhesion.

Permabond UV632 is a UV adhesive for plastics — low-viscosity urethane methacrylate (200–400 mPa·s @ 20 rpm viscosity, >70% elongation at break). Permabond UV630 is a standard low-viscosity (250 mPa·s, 110% elongation at break) — methacrylate, biocompatible.

When stored at 5 to 25 °C and protected from light, Permabond UV632 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 UV632 (UV adhesive for plastics — low-viscosity urethane methacrylate); Permabond UV630 (standard low-viscosity); Permabond UV648 (high-viscosity urethane); Permabond UV639 (highly elastic). For shadowed areas (where UV light does not fully reach the adhesive gap), a dual-cure variant such as Permabond UV7141 (UV + anaerobic) should be used.
