A range of high performance adhesives for the bonding of optical fibers and photoconductive wavepath cladding is being launched by Daikin Chemical Europe. Called Optodyne UV, the adhesives have a wide refractive index range of 1.45–1.51 and show good bond strength. The bonds are still stronger than the attached optical components after 1000 hours at 85°C and 85% relative humidity.
The adhesives bring together the benefits of fluorinated chemistry, which gives excellent light transmission with bond strength and durability, with acrylic and epoxy technology. All Optodyne UV grades are single component systems with a long pot life, low viscosity, and fast UV curing. They can be dispensed cleanly from the packaging with no outgassing or post curing.
