UV-8509R

One-component UV curable urethane acrylate

Non-sag UV-cure paste for plastics and metals

UV-8509R is a non-sag, fast-curing urethane acrylate paste for engineered plastics and metal substrates. It is formulated for reduced surface tack and requires direct UV exposure during cure.

In plain English

UV-8509R is a soft, non-sag UV paste for plastic and metal bonds that need bead placement control.

Product fit

Why buyers choose this grade

Paste-like placement control

The non-sag rheology makes it easier to lay down a bead and keep it there.

Soft, flexible cure

Shore A 50 hardness and 200% elongation support sealing and flexible joins better than rigid epoxies.

Made for plastics too

It is made for engineered-plastic and metal bonding instead of only glass or ceramic substrates.

Good fit for

  • Connector sealing, clamshell bonding, and bead applications on plastics or metals
  • Jobs that need a paste instead of a flowing liquid
  • Assemblies where reduced surface tack matters for handling after cure

Things to confirm first

  • This material needs direct UV exposure; there is no secondary cure mechanism for blocked light areas.
  • Its temperature range tops out at 100°C, so it is not meant for hotter electronics.

Datasheet applications

  • PET clamshell bonding
  • Connector seal
