UV Curing Gel（CIPD）
Our CIPD (Cured-In-Place-Damping) silicone anti-vibration material is sold as a liquid that is cured in place with UV light. By fine-tuning softness and damping functionality (Loss Factor tanδ, etc.), our CIPD shows peerless vibration control functionality in highly sensitive precision components.
- Characteristics
- ●Tunable damping characteristics (e.g. Loss Factor tanδ) for many applications.
- ●UV Curing Gel boasts a very low compression set, resulting in long-lasting, stable performance.
- ●Thanks to the power of UV curing, this GEL hardens more quickly than standard moisture curing materials, reducing process time.
- ●Often used as damping material in optical pick-ups.
- Application Example
- UV Curing GEL is often used as damping material in optical pick up devices. UV Curing GEL comes in liquid state.
- Technical Information
-
[Dynamic viscoelasticity (Silicone GEL B Frequency response)]
- Packaging
-
Product is supplied in a
light-proof bottle.- ●Easy handling and transport.
- ●May be transferred into syringes or other containers for customized application.

Notes
・Requires dispensing equipment and a UV light source for curing.
・A UV lamp intensity of 100 - 300 mW/cm2 applied for 20 - 30 seconds will cure the product to a stable hardness.
・As sunlight and fluorescent lights contain UV light, any exposure to these light sources will start the curing reaction. Avoid exposure to sunlight, and apply a UV filter to any fluorescent lights in the workspace.
