Rocky Hill, Conn. — November 14, 2006.... Henkel Corporation has introduced the Loctite® 7703-HD™ LED Light Source, a high-powered, portable curing system designed for use on visible light curing adhesives, Loctite® 3552 and Loctite® 3553. Equipped with an internal cooling fan, this hand-held or stationary mount system will provide effective continuous duty cycle use.

The Loctite® 7703-HD™ features patent pending LED technology that eliminates substrate heating, and offers a typical output up to 3.5 W/cm2 at wavelengths in the visible range, greater than 400nm. Powered from an AC power adapter, the system requires no batteries.

The high-powered LED light source features an extended tip that is ideal for use on small adhesive joints. Sized at just 9 x 1.4 x 2-inches and weighing just 0.75 pound, the Loctite® 7703-HD™ may be actuated using a foot switch, PLC interface cable, or timer, each sold separately.
