Reactive, Fluorescent Epoxy Monomers for Making Epoxy Thermosets Visible Under Ultraviolet Light
This technology allows for the easy identification of epoxy repairs using ultraviolet (UV) light. A fluorescent dye is covalently bonded to the epoxy group molecule, preventing it from leaching out of the cured adhesive. This dye, which emits a bright fluorescence under UV light, does not reduce the adhesive strength of the epoxy and will not lose its...
