UV Adhesive Cure-Compatibility Dataset
The cure wavelength and published dose for 110 named UV adhesives across 12 manufacturers, each cited to the maker's datasheet and spec-matched to a UV spot curing system. Free to use with attribution.

What's in it
One row per named adhesive with: manufacturer, product, chemistry, cure initiation wavelength(s), absorption band, published dose, atmosphere, the recommended UV spot system, which of our systems cover it, a link to the full page, and the source datasheet with its revision. Nothing is invented, if a datasheet does not publish a figure, the field is null.
Sample
