Product 6103
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONTOP-BOND Product 6103 is a single component, low viscosity, fast curing UV adhesive designed for bonding glass to glass. The product cures in seconds upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation of 365 nm to form an impact resistant bond which exhibits excellent resistance to prolonged humidity or water immersion.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Bonding and sealing or potting applications of glass to aluminum or Stainless Steel, such as glass furniture and artware.
PROPERTIES OF UNCURED MATERIAL
Typical Value Chemical Type Modified acrylate Appearance Clear, pale straw Specific Gravity @ 25°C 1.04 Viscosity @ 25°C, mPa.s (cP) 100 Brookfield Refractive Index @ 25°C, Nr 1.479 Toxicity Low Flash Point (TCC), °C >93
TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE Cure Conditions Cure can be effected with both low and high intensity ultraviolet light sources. A low UV intensity of 30 mW/cm2 will cure highly transmitting substrates with < .010” gap in 5 seconds or 0.070” to 0.090” gaps in 10 to 20 seconds. A high UV intensity of 100 mW/cm2 will cure highly transmitting substrates with < .010” gap in 2 seconds or 0.100” to 0.200” gaps in 10 to 20 seconds. The table below represents typical fixture times for glass substrates with no induced gap. Full cure is estimated to be 6X the fixture time upon continued exposure to UV radiation.
NOTE: UV irradiances are measured at 365nm with an OAI 306 UV Powermeter.

GENERAL INFORMATION This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials. For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS). Directions for use This product is UV sensitive. Exposure to daylight, UV light and artificial lighting should be kept to a minimum during storage and handling. Product should be dispensed from applicators with black feed lines. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.
UV cure rate is dependent on lamp intensity, distance from light source, depth of cure needed or bondline gap and light transmittance of the substrate through which the radiation must pass. Recommended intensity for cure in an adhesive application (between substrates) is 40 mW/cm2 minimum (measured at the bondline) with an exposure time of 5-6 times the fixture time at this same intensity. For tack-free surface cure, as necessary in coating, potting or tacking applications, higher intensity UV is required (100 mW/cm2 minimum).
Cooling should be provided for temperature sensitive substrate such as thermoplastic. Plastic grades should be checked for risk of stress cracking when exposed to liquid adhesive. Excess adhesive can be wiped away with organic solvent. Bonds should be allowed to cool before subjecting to any service loads.
Storage Products shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in unopened containers at a temperature between 8° to 28°C (46° to 82°F) unless otherwise labeled. Optimal storage is at the lower half of this temperature range. To prevent contamination of unused product, do not return any material to its original container. For specific shelf-life information, contact your local Technical Service Center.
