TYPE UV-69
Type UV-69 was developed to eliminate mixing catalysts with the cement. Cure is achieved using an ordinary G.E. ultraviolet sun lamp or equivalent. Heat itself will not cause cure. It is recommended that lenses cemented with type UV-69 be irradiated on a sheet of white paper to expedite cure.

Instructions For Use
Application and Curing of Type UV-69 Place the prepared LENS BOND on the concave surface, and place the convex surface thereon. Press down firmly and gently until LENS BOND completely wets the matching surfaces. Then, with a slow rotary motion and light pressure, force air bubbles from between the lenses. Excess Cement can be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol or acetone. (Excess solvent will remove cement from between the cemented components.) Place the cemented doublets 12" beneath the sun lamp and irradiate them for 20 minutes. After pre-cure, holding devices can be removed and cleaned.
Irradiate for an additional 90 minutes for full-cure.
Before environmental testing, however, the lenses must be fully cured.
Full-cure time is in addition to the pre-cure time. If there is no reason to remove holding devices after pre-cure, components should be cured for the total time (pre-cure plus full-cure). Depending on the components and conditions, if there is any doubt about cure being achieved, allow components to cure for a longer period of time. The Cement will not overcure.
Safety: Although LENS BOND is quite safe to use, some persons may be sensitive to the chemicals comprising the formulation. For them, the use of finger cots or gloves is recommended. Adequate ventilation should be provided.
Note: If the elements will undergo hostile environmental tests, allow 48 to 72 hours between full-cure and testing.
