Loxeal 30-22 UV-Curable High Viscosity Adhesive 50ml
Loxeal 30-22 is a fast-curing, high-strength UV adhesive with a thicker, higher-viscosity consistency designed for glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal bonding. The heavier body gives better control on the joint and lets it bridge gaps up to 2 mm, while its crystal-clear, non-yellowing finish with over 98% light transmittance keeps even generous bond lines virtually invisible — ideal for precious crystal work.
Why choose Loxeal 30-22?
- High viscosity (5,500–7,500 mPa·s) resists flowing off the joint before cure
- Fills bond lines from 0.03 mm up to 2 mm — more forgiving on uneven parts
- Cures in seconds under UV light (365 nm)
- Clear, colourless joints with excellent optical clarity
- Strong bonds on glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal assemblies
Typical applications
Glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal bonding in glass furniture, decorative items and crystal ware — especially assemblies with larger or less uniform bond gaps where a runnier adhesive would drain away.
How to use
- Ensure both parts are clean and completely dry.
- Apply the adhesive to one surface and bring the parts together.
- At least one part must be UV-transparent — position the assembly before exposure.
- Cure with a UV source emitting between 365 nm and 420 nm (around 100 mW/cm² recommended); exposure of 6–10 seconds is typically sufficient.
- Extend the exposure for wider gaps or substrates that filter UV.
Cure times
Typical fixture under a suitable UV lamp is 6–10 seconds. Cure time varies with lamp intensity, distance from the light source, bond-line gap and the light transmittance of the substrate.

Important notes
- At least one bonded part must transmit UV light for the adhesive to cure.
- Cure speed drops with tinted or UV-filtering substrates — extend exposure accordingly.
- Store in a cool, dry place at no more than +25°C, away from daylight; do not return used product to the bottle.
Safety
Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use and avoid looking directly at UV curing lamps without eye protection.
