Tru-Bond™ PSA 30000FR
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive, UV/Visible Light Cure Adhesive with Fluorescence
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Tru-Bond
TM
PSA 30000 FR is a one-part, solventless PSA (pressure sensitive adhesives) that cures to a tacky adhesive
when exposed to UV/Visible light. This adhesive can be cured directly through clear or translucent surfaces or cured first
prior to assembly. The curing first method allows for the joining of parts at some future point. This product can bond a wide
range of substrates including PE, PP, PET, and most plastics, metals, glass, and ceramics. It can be sprayed, roll coated,
bead or brush applied, screen printed or used in a flexographic printing process.

PROCESSING
ITW products are easily applied by syringe dispense
or specialty valve spray units. The materials cure
extremely fast in bondlines, e.g. where the surfaces
are not exposed to air, with UV or Visible radiation.
Exposure doses range from .5 - 2 J/cm
2
depending on
the intensity of the lamps and configuration of the
assembly.
PRECAUTIONS
Please refer to the appropriate material safety data
sheet (MSDS) prior to using this product.
STORAGE
Store the unopened product in a cool, dry, well
ventilated location away from sources of heat.
Optimal storage temperatures should range between
10
o
C (50
o
F) and 32
o
C (90
o
F). Do not expose the
product to light. It may polymerize upon prolonged
exposure to ambient or artificial light. Product
removed from the containers during use should not
be returned to original containers in order to avoid
potential contamination.
