Combined High-tech Technology for Completely New Solutions

Industry’s demands on hightech bonding systems are increasing. Today, numerous safety components or entire assemblies are optimally connected using only adhesives.In order to create connections that are reliable for the various processes, the limits of conventional pressure-sensitive adhesives have to be surpassed and compromises between product development and process optimization need to be amplified.

With their reactive product range Lohmann has provided the answer to these industrial challenges. Within the scope of structural bonding, we have developed innovative products that are much stronger than conventional pressure-sensitive adhesive connections. Also, they combine semi-structural and structural bonding performance with the ease of handling known from adhesive tapes.

Innovative Reactive Films and Tapes
in Three Advanced Technologies

Reactive films and tapes are dimensional precise and pre-applicable. Thus, a fast and neat processing is guaranteed. Within the range Lohmann distinguishes between three different technologies: UV-Epoxy, Epoxy and Polyurethane.

Overcoming Boundaries: the Powerful Alternative to Conventional Bonding Solutions 

Depending on the material, a large number of mechanical joining processes or technologies can be realized using liquid adhesive or thermoplastic film. Nevertheless, limitations exist that can negatively impact product quality and incur additional costs. Providing an ideal solution for the strong and flexible bonding of different materials, DuploTEC SBF-technology overcomes the boundaries of constructive bonding.

UV-LUX®
UV-light Activatable Adhesive Tape Technology

UV-LUX Technology, the world's first UV-light activatable adhesive tape solution with color change, is an all-rounder. Cold chains and thermal input become obsolete in favor of dark curing. Translucent or thermal resistant materials are no longer needed. Apart from an initial tack, a color change ensures precise, easy and safe manufacturing processes. Patents are pending, first application examples are already there and the potential number of further applications is indefinite.

 

Technology: 
  • Modified UV-activatable Epoxy
  • Tapes with initial tack
  • Formulations and thickness vary depending on application

Process:
  • UV-activation with 365nm in seconds
  • (optional) Color change at activation
  • Up to 10 min. open time
  • Immediate handling strength for further processing
  • Full strength after 24 hours without additional energy

  • (Semi-) structural forces in shear load

  • UV-activation in seconds, curing with no additional energy in dark possible

  • Aging resistant

Lohmann's SBF range combines structural bonding performance with the ease of handling offered by adhesive tapes.

It comprises two technologies: epoxy and polyurethane bonding systems.
