    Loctite 3175 is a single-component, UV-curable acrylic adhesive that cures extremely fast to form a tack-free surface. For tacking components and subassemblies, the material cures in 3 to 5 seconds under medium intensity light (50 mW/cm2) and in 1 second under high intensity (100 mW/cm2) light. For structural bonding, Loctite 3525 is a single-component, UV or visible light cured, colorless acrylic adhesive that cures to form a tough, flexible bond. Also, Loctite 3335 is a UV-curing, clear, low-odor, cationic epoxy that is superior for coating and tacking applications.
