TPO-Free Light-Curable Adhesives

In anticipation of the European Union legislative changes on Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide (TPO), and growing consumer concerns around the world, companies are working to eliminate TPO (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide). Dymax is responding by expanding our portfolio of TPO-free light-cure adhesive materials.  These sustainable adhesive solutions support long-term product design and planning and are designed to meet evolving regulatory requirements and safety concerns, as well as marketplace demands.

Our TPO-free products have been rigorously tested to deliver the performance and quality characteristics expected of all Dymax chemistries and are backed by expert technical support to help you navigate validation and implementation with confidence. Manufacturers working through new product development efforts, or integrating formulations into existing production environments, can take advantage of Dymax's Application Engineering expertise by working with our specialists to help you through validation processes with your applications.

For medical device applications, adhesives meet biocompatibility standards, including ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity and others as appropriate to support internal validation or documentation requirements. 

With our customer's needs in mind, our proactive approach will help to enable timely transitions and provide confidence in product reliability and compliance. Customers are encouraged to contact Dymax to answer questions on process and design changes and for support in evaluating solutions that meet immediate performance needs and longer-term planning goals.

"Our commitment to monitoring and assessing the needs of the marketplace and developing innovative and effective solutions drives us to stay ahead of the marketplace," said Michael Ford, Head of Business Development at Dymax. "By enabling access to our expanded portfolio of TPO-free products early and continuing to evolve our product lines where needed, we are giving our customers the confidence to continue using our materials while meeting evolving global standards and end-user needs."
