How to use

1. Preparation - Cleaning

For high strength structural bonds, removal of surface contaminates such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminates. Use gloves to minimize skin contact, do not use solvents for cleaning hands.


2. Preparation - Cartridge system

To use dual cartridges, simply insert the cartridge into the application gun and start the plunger into the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides are flowing evenly and freely. If automatic mixing of resin and hardener is desired, attach the mixing nozzle to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive. For hand mixing, expel the desired amount of the adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained. For Bulk Containers, Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the proportions specified in Properties of Uncured Material section. Mix vigorously approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained. oin the adhesive-coated surfaces and allow them to cure at 25 °C (77 °F) for 24 hours to achieve high strength, noting that heating up to 93 °C (200 °F) will accelerate curing. Keep the parts from moving during cure, as contact pressure is necessary, and maximum shear strength is obtained with a 3 to 9 mil bond line.


3. Application

For maximum bond strength, apply the adhesive evenly to both surfaces to be joined, and apply it to the substrates within 3 minutes. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce the working time.


4. Clean up

Excess uncured adhesive can be cleaned up with ketone type solvents.
