NBA 108 Blocking Adhesive 10g syringe

Product information "NBA 108 Blocking Adhesive 10g syringe"

Refractive Index 1.51; 550 cps Viscosity at 25°C 

NBA 108 (10g syringe) is a single component, UV curing adhesive used for temporary bonding of lenses to metal polishing mounts. This blocking adhesive is formulated to be used with polishing processes that use large amounts of liquid or use heavy grinding. The adhesive cures in minutes at room temperature by exposure to long wave UV light and eliminates the heat induced strain typical of the old fashioned hot pitch blocking methods. NBA 108 is specifically formulated to provide low shrinkage and low strain to further minimize any potential strain on the lens during the blocking process. Debonding is accomplished by soaking in acetone.

The adhesive cures only by exposure to UV light in the range of 350 to 380 nanometers. Recommended light sources include mercury lamps, sun lamps, fluorescent black lights and xenon lamps. Norland Products sells a variety of light sources optimized for curing our adhesive. The adhesive needs 5 joules per centimeter squared of long wave UV energy to fully cure. Cure time will depend on the amount of UV energy the light source used generates at the surface of the adhesive.

NOA 61 Optical Adhesive 1 oz bottle
Refractive Index 1.56; 300 cps Viscosity at 25°C Norland Optical Adhesive 61 is a clear, colorless, liquid photopolymer that will cure when exposed to ultraviolet light. Since it is a one part system and 100% solids, it offers many advantages in bonding where the adhesive can be exposed to U.V. light. The use of NOA 61 eliminates premixing, drying or heat curing operations common to other adhesive systems. Curing time is remarkably fast, and is dependent upon the thickness applied and the amount of ultraviolet light energy available.NOA 61 meets Federal Specification MIL-A-3920 for optical adhesives and is approved for use on all government contracts specifying such adhesives. The adhesive is designed to give the best possible optical bond to glass surfaces, metals, fiberglass and glass filled plastics. NOA 61 is recommended for bonding lenses, prisms and mirrors for military, aerospace and commercial optics as well as for terminating and splicing optical fibers.Typical Properties of NOA 61 Solids 100% Elongation at Failure 38% Modulus of Elasticity (psi) 150,000 Tensile Strength (psi) 3,000 Hardness - Shore D 85 Shelf life of the liquid is at least 4 months from the date of shipment if stored in a cool (5°C-22°C), dark place in the original container. If refrigerated, allow the adhesive to come to room temperature prior to use.
