How will the adhesive properties differ if cured using UV-light versus a blue-visible light?
In most cases, UV light sources emit a significant amount of infrared radiation. As a result, the adhesive can be exposed to high temperatures (higher intensity lamps generally produce higher quantities of infrared). The temperature exposure can affect both Tg and the modulus of the adhesive. However, because of the quick cure times, the effects of exposure to higher temperatures will probably be negligible.
