UV adhesives can be cured with UV gas discharge lamps, UV LED equipment and under visible light in some cases. Because UV adhesives are cured in seconds, they are mainly used in industrial settings and contribute to high production outputs. Unione Adesivi offers a variety of solvent free and environmentally safe UV adhesives in a broad range of viscosities.

Elastic bonding with silicone adhesives and sealants has been established in the household and commercial appliance industries for decades and are now indispensable in the modern series production of stoves, ovens and microwaves. Silicone products with excellent bonding characteristics, particularly high viscosity and thermal resistance are well-suited for visible joints on smooth materials like glass ceramic, metal or enamel.

Composite panels, also known as sandwich panels, are popular multiple substrate systems assembled from bonded together metals, wood, plastics and other materials, and used in construction, transportation and other industries. Selecting criteria of effective composite panels include mechanical properties, temperature exposure, acoustics, moisture control, heat transfer and outgassing requirements. Use of different composite materials and technologies in production of sandwich panels for certain purposes is calling for specific requirements in bonding adhesives.

Medical grade adhesives can be used in production of large quantities of disposable medical items, such as syringes, dialysis filters, blood bags and tube connections. These medical products are typically made not from common plastics like PVC and ABS that are well suited for bonding, but from synthetic materials that are hard to bond, such as PEEK, PE and PP. In addition to their high bonding strength, rapid curing of the adhesives used is important to allow high volume production.
