About Dymax
About Dymax
Dymax Corporation was founded in 1980 in Torrington, Connecticut by Andrew G. Bachmann under the name American Chemical and Engineering Company, built around his idea to develop fast-curing adhesives that let manufacturers assemble components quickly while reducing the solvent emissions common to older bonding methods. That founding focus on light-curable chemistry rather than traditional solvent-based adhesives set the company's direction for more than four decades.
Dymax has grown into a global leader in light-curable adhesives, dispensing equipment, and UV and LED curing systems, remaining a family-owned and operated company while serving customers in medical device, electronics, automotive, and aerospace manufacturing around the world. The company's UV/LED curing technology is specifically engineered to work with its adhesive formulations as a matched system, which helps manufacturers get consistent, fast cure times on production lines.
Dymax products show up on assembly lines wherever a manufacturer needs an adhesive that cures in seconds under UV or LED light rather than waiting hours for a conventional epoxy to set. On ChatMRO, buyers can search by Dymax part number or describe the bonding application and get matched to the right adhesive or curing equipment.

Frequently asked questions
What does Dymax manufacture?
Dymax manufactures light-curable adhesives, dispensing equipment, and UV and LED curing systems used in medical device, electronics, automotive, and aerospace assembly. Its products are designed to work together as matched adhesive-and-curing-light systems.
Who founded Dymax and when?
Andrew G. Bachmann founded the company in 1980 in Torrington, Connecticut, originally under the name American Chemical and Engineering Company. Dymax has remained family-owned and operated throughout its more than 40-year history.
Why use a light-curable adhesive instead of a traditional epoxy?
Light-curable adhesives from Dymax cure in seconds under UV or LED exposure rather than the minutes to hours required for conventional two-part epoxies to set, which speeds up assembly lines significantly. They also reduce the solvent emissions associated with older bonding chemistries.
Does Dymax sell the curing lights as well as the adhesives?
Yes, Dymax manufactures its own UV and LED curing equipment alongside its adhesive formulations, engineering the two to work together as a matched system for consistent cure results. This integrated approach is a key differentiator from adhesive-only suppliers that leave curing equipment selection to the customer.
How do I find the right Dymax adhesive or curing system through ChatMRO?
Search by the Dymax part number or describe the substrate, bond strength, and cure time you need, and ChatMRO will match it to the correct adhesive or curing equipment. Our RFQ form is available if you'd like our team to help confirm compatibility for your application.
