Complaints were received claiming the material failed to polymerize under the curing light. After investigation, it was determined that a wrong photo-initiator was used in the production batch U30755 of Helioseal Clear. This failure can lead to incomplete curing of the sealant, if mono-wave LED curing lights are used.
