Formulators working with one-part UV-curable epoxy systems for bonding, sealing, coating, and spin coating in medical device assembly can find it hard to verify that a joint is void-free and correctly placed once assembly is complete. Checking often means sectioning or otherwise damaging the part. A joint that fails downstream in device testing or in the field often traces back to a placement issue that a simple visual check could have caught. That constraint sits alongside the need to document ISO 10993-5 compliance and resistance to sterilants such as ethylene oxide and glutaraldehyde before the bondline reaches a patient. Master Bond has released UV16Med-FD, a one-part UV curable system built around this inspection gap.
