ODAKE CT8888C UV Adhesive: ISO 10993-5 Certified Food Contact Grade UV Shadowless Glue for PVC and PC Bonding
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 CT8888C UV Adhesive is a professional-grade food contact grade UV shadowless glue developed for these applications. It is a medium 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, and is specially recommended for bonding rigid or flexible PVC to polycarbonate (PC).
1. What Is Food Contact Grade UV Shadowless Glue?
Food contact grade UV shadowless glue (also known as food contact grade UV adhesive or medical grade UV adhesive) is a UV-curable adhesive that has been validated through strict biological evaluation to meet food contact and medical device safety requirements. It must possess:
-
Biocompatibility: Passed ISO 10993-5 series testing, non-toxic to human tissue
-
Food Contact Safety: Compliant with FDA and other food contact material regulations
-
Cleanliness: Low odor, low extractables — does not compromise product purity
CT8888C has passed ISO 10993-5 certification and can be safely used in medical devices and food contact applications.
