Key Performance Evaluated
! Sample Preparation ● Each oligomer was formulated using Sartomer’s standard adhesive formulation
package. ● The adhesives were laminated between DuPont (XST-6578) PET films. ● Curing condition: Under a Fusion 600 W/in D lamp at a speed of 15 fpm. ● Thickness of each adhesive sample: Tested to be approximately 9 mils.
! Application Property Test • Initial bond strength: Instron • Initial optical clarity: UV/Vis spectra • Ultimate bond strength and optical clarity under different weathering conditions:
• ASTM D4329-05 cycle B QUV • 85°C/85% relative humidity • Freeze-thaw cycles (each cycle includes 20 hours at 85°C/85% relative
humidity and 2 hours at -40°C) • The weathering samples were equilibrated at RT/50% relative humidity
environment for seven days before T-peel testing.

! Polyester, polycaprolactone and polycarbonate urethane acrylates demonstrate high initial bond strength. Polyether urethane acrylate shows weak initial bond strength.
! Most polyester, polycaprolactone urethane acrylates lost bond strength. Polyether urethane acrylates can hold bond strength.

Conclusions
! Polyester urethane acrylates can be designed to have superior durability even under harsh weathering conditions.
! Not all the polycarbonate urethane acrylates can deliver high durability. Specific composition and molecular weight do matter.
! NTX12514 and PRO12546 are featured products for laminating adhesive applications requiring:
● Strong initial bond strength
● High optical clarity
● Maintenance of high optical clarity and bond strength under different weathering environments
