About Dymax 

UV/Visible light-curable adhesives. Systems for light curing, fluid dispensing, and fluid packaging. 

Dymax manufactures industrial adhesives, light-curable adhesives, epoxy resins, cyanoacrylates, and activator-
cured adhesives. We also manufacture a complete line of manual fluid dispensing systems, automatic fluid 
dispensing systems, and light-curing systems. Light-curing systems include UV broad-spectrum and LED curing 
sources configured in, spot, flood, and conveyor systems designed for compatibility and high performance with 
Dymax adhesives.  

Dymax adhesives and light-curing systems optimize the speed of automated assembly, allow for 100% in-line 
inspection, and increase throughput. System designs enable stand-alone configuration or integration into your 
existing assembly line. 

Please note that most dispensing and curing system applications are unique. Dymax does not warrant the fitness 
of the product for the intended application. Any warranty applicable to the product, its application, and use is 
strictly limited to that contained in the Dymax standard Conditions of Sale. Dymax recommends that any 
intended application be evaluated and tested by the user to ensure that desired performance criteria are 
satisfied. Dymax is willing to assist users in their performance testing and evaluation by offering equipment trial 
rental and leasing programs to assist in such testing and evaluations.
