Information

LOCTITE® AA 3979 is a 1-part, UV/visible light-cure acrylic adhesive gel that fluoresces red under UV light, making it ideal for medical device bonding applications where the fluorescent properties of the substrates hinder detecting the adhesives. It has a gel viscosity to fill large gaps and to prevent migration following application.
