How to use
For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.
Cure rate is dependent on lamp intensity, distance from light source, depth of cure needed or bondline gap and light transmittance of the substrate through which the radiation must pass. Recommended intensity for cure in bondline situation is 40 mW/cm2 minimum (measured at the bondline) with an exposure time of 4-5 times the fixture time at the same intensity. For dry curing of exposed surfaces, higher intensity UV is required (100 mW/cm2).
Cooling should be provided for temperature sensitive substrates such as thermoplastics. Plastic grades should be checked for risk of stress cracking when exposed to liquid adhesive. Excess adhesive can be wiped away with organic solvent. Bonds should be allowed to cool before subjecting to any service loads.
This product is light sensitive; exposure to daylight, UV light and artificial lighting should be kept to a minimum during storage and handling. The product should be dispensed from applicators with black feedlines.
FAQ
Yes, For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.
LOCTITE® AA 3106 should be stored in the unopened container in a dry location, with storage information possibly indicated on the product container labeling. Its optimal storage temperature is 8°C to 21°C, and storage below 8°C or above 28°C can adversely affect product properties. Material removed from containers may be contaminated during use.
