In medical device manufacturing and food contact material processing, the safety and reliability of UV adhesive are core guarantees of product quality. When adhesives need to contact the human body or food, biocompatibility and food contact safety become non-negotiable requirements.
ODAKE CT8886A Biocompatible UV Adhesive is a professional-grade food contact grade UV shadowless glue developed for these applications. It is a low viscosity, fast-curing, one-component UV curing adhesive that has passed ISO 10993-5 biocompatibility testing. It can be safely used in medical devices and food contact applications, offering excellent flexibility, impact resistance, and temperature resistance.
1. What Is Biocompatible UV Adhesive?
A biocompatible UV adhesive is a UV-curable adhesive that has been validated through biological evaluation (such as ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity testing) to have no cytotoxic effects on human tissue. It is primarily used in medical devices, food contact materials, wearable devices, and other applications with strict human safety requirements.
CT8886A is ISO 10993-5 certified and can be safely used in:
-
Medical catheters, masks, and sensor assemblies
-
Food contact grade transparent plastic bonding
-
Precision assembly of medical devices
