In full lamination fields such as touchscreens, LCDs, and automotive displays, the four-dimensional performance of "transmittance — yellowness index — curing shrinkage — reworkability" of optical adhesives has always been the core contradiction restricting display quality and lamination yield. Traditional OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) tapes require die-cutting and alignment, prone to bubbles in large-size lamination and impossible to rework; conventional acrylic liquid optical adhesives (OCR), while dispensable, suffer from high curing shrinkage (usually >3%), causing screen Mura (display unevenness), and poor UV aging resistance, yellowing and darkening after long-term exposure. With the popularization of narrow bezels, large sizes, high refresh rates, and stringent automotive display weather resistance requirements, demands for "transmittance ≥99%, yellowness index <0.1, shrinkage <0.1%, reworkable gel state" continue to upgrade. Sourcing a "two-component UV-curable, low-viscosity, high-transmittance, low-shrinkage" silicone liquid optical adhesive has become the core gap for domestic new display material autonomy.
Addressing this,
Anhui IOTA Silicone Oil Co., Ltd. officially launches
IOTA 5220AB UV-Curable Silicone Liquid Optical Adhesive. Characterized by "two-component UV-curable liquid silicone rubber, gel after curing; Component A colorless transparent, viscosity 2200mPa·s, Component B colorless transparent, viscosity 1000mPa·s, mixed viscosity 2200mPa·s, density 0.97g/ml; mixing ratio 10:1, pot life 48h (25℃ dark); curing: UV-LED 365nm 3000mj/cm² + 60℃/30min; after curing: colorless transparent gel, yellowness index <0.1, transmittance 99%, haze <0.1%, penetration 95, refractive index 1.407, shrinkage <0.1%, G+G adhesion 0.5MPa; A:5kg/drum, B:0.5kg/can; storage 6 months at 15~35℃", backed by "UV-initiated hydrosilylation + oligomer flexible backbone + high-purity optical fillers", it serves as the "optical gel" for touchscreen lamination,
achieving the leap from "acrylic OCR high-shrinkage yellowing" to "silicone UV gel high-transmittance low-shrinkage".
System Positioning: UV Silicone Optical Gel vs. Traditional OCA/OCR
IOTA 5220AB belongs to the UV-curable silicone liquid optical adhesive system, distinct from traditional OCA tapes and acrylic OCR. OCA is a solid tape requiring die-cutting, unsuitable for irregular and large sizes, with bubbles hard to eliminate and non-reworkable; acrylic OCR has good filling but high shrinkage causes Mura, and poor weather resistance leads to yellowing. UV-curable silicone liquid optical adhesive combines silicone's low shrinkage (<0.1%), excellent weather resistance, and efficient UV curing. After curing, it forms a gel state (penetration 95) with both cohesion and reworkability, thoroughly avoiding the application shortcomings of traditional materials.
Molecular Architecture: UV-Thermal Dual Curing + Gel Flexible Network + High-Purity Optical Design
The core competitiveness of IOTA 5220AB stems from its precision formulation architecture:
-
UV-LED Photoinitiation + Thermal Curing Dual Engine: Component A contains vinyl polysiloxane and photoinitiator, Component B contains Si-H crosslinker and platinum catalyst. UV irradiation (365nm, 3000mj/cm²) triggers photopolymerization for rapid shaping, followed by 60℃/30min heating to promote hydrosilylation deep crosslinking, ensuring complete curing with shrinkage <0.1%.
-
Gel Flexible Network Absorbs Impact: After curing, it forms a colorless transparent gel with penetration 95, providing sufficient cohesion (G+G adhesion 0.5MPa) while maintaining high elasticity to absorb drop impact and relieve thermal stress, protecting brittle glass substrates.
-
High-Purity Optical Low Surface Energy Design: Refractive index 1.407 matches glass (~1.5), transmittance 99%, haze <0.1%, yellowness index <0.1%, ensuring no color distortion. Surface tension 24.0mN/m gives excellent substrate wettability, automatically filling micro-gaps and eliminating air to avoid white spots.
Performance Leap: From "High-Shrinkage Mura" to "High-Transmittance Low-Shrinkage Reworkable"
Introducing IOTA 5220AB brings a qualitative leap to full lamination:
-
Ultimate Optical Performance: Transmittance 99%, haze <0.1%, yellowness index <0.1%, long-term UV aging resistance without yellowing, ensuring lasting clarity for automotive and outdoor displays.
-
Ultra-Low Shrinkage No Mura: Shrinkage <0.1%, almost no volume change during curing, thoroughly eliminating Mura defects from uneven stress.
-

Application Penetration: From Mobile Touch to Automotive Large Screens
The application boundary covers all display lamination scenarios requiring "high transmittance + low shrinkage + weather resistance":
-
Touchscreen and Automotive Display Lamination (Main Battlefield): G+G (glass-to-glass), G+F (glass-to-film) lamination for mobile phones, tablets, automotive center consoles, instrument clusters.
-
LCD Displays: Optical lamination between LCD modules and cover glass, enhancing contrast and outdoor visibility.
-
New Displays: Foldable screens, curved screens, irregular screens requiring high-elasticity buffering optical bonding.
