- 5x Adhesive Mixing Nozzles (SKU: CON-MBHX-05-16T)
- 1x UV Glasses
Key Features
- Complete adhesive system for trimless letter and trim cap bonding applications
- Includes UV-curable wicking adhesive for fast fixturing and clean bond lines
- Structural MMA adhesive included for seam reinforcement and long-term durability
- Designed for tight seams and near-butt joints in signage fabrication
- Supports bonding of acrylic, polycarbonate, and aluminum substrates
- Provides a streamlined workflow with included dispensing and curing tools
- Helps improve assembly speed and consistency in production environments
Compatible Substrates and Materials
- Acrylic
- Polycarbonate
- Aluminum
- PVC trim cap materials
Application Guidance
Dry fit components prior to bonding, then apply the included UV adhesive so it can wick into tight seams between substrates. Use the UV flashlight to cure and fixture components in place before applying the structural MMA adhesive for seam reinforcement where required. Ensure bonding surfaces are clean and free of contaminants, and use the included dispensing tools for accurate application and consistent results.
Typical Use Cases
- Trimless channel letter assembly
- Trim cap to acrylic face bonding
- Acrylic face to aluminum return bonding
- Backlit and front-lit signage fabrication
- Retail and architectural signage production
Target Industries and Buyers
- Sign manufacturers and fabricators
- Channel letter production shops
- Architectural signage companies
- Display and retail fixture manufacturers
- OEM assembly operations working with plastic and metal signage components
Performance Advantages
This kit combines fast UV fixturing with structural seam reinforcement, offering a practical alternative to traditional bonding methods used in sign fabrication. Compared to single-adhesive systems, it enables precise positioning, clean bond lines, and the option to build additional strength and flexibility through a secondary adhesive step, improving overall assembly reliability in tight bonding areas.
