UV cure adhesives are generally based on free radical curing of acrylate monomers and oligomers in the presence of a photoinitiator. UV/EB technology is one of the most rapidly growing technologies in recent times, having undisputed advantages that explain this recent growth, among them:

• UV cure adhesives allow curing on demand: formulators can manage the curing speed of the related application.
• Curing speed of UV/EB adhesives is much faster than a lot of alternatives. It generates big production cost savings.
• UV/EB technology exhibit environmental benefits, being zero emission / low VOC, which of course is a big subject of concern nowadays.
