Handling/Curing

Information

Directions For Use

1. For high strength structural bonds, paints, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents

and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However, the amount

of surface preparation necessary directly depends on the required bond strength and the

environmental aging resistance desired by the user. For suggested surface preparations

on common substrates, see the section on surface preparation.

Mixing

For Duo Pak Cartridges

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesives DP190 Translucent and DP190 Gray are supplied

in a dual syringe plastic duo-pak cartridge as part of the 3M™ EPX Applicator system. To

use, simply insert the duo-pak cartridge into the EPX applicator and start the plunger into

the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the duo-pak cartridge cap

and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides of the duo-pak cartridge are

flowing evenly and freely. If automatic mixing of Part A and Part B is desired, attach the

EPX applicator mixing nozzle to the duo-pak cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive.

For hand mixing, expel the desired amount of 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 the typical uncured

properties section. Mix approximately 15 seconds after uniform colour is obtained.

For maximum bond strength, apply adhesive evenly to both surfaces to be joined.

Application to the substrates should be made within 75 minutes. Larger quantities and/or

higher temperatures will reduce this working time.

Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at 16°C (60°F) or above until

completely firm. Heat up to 93°C (200°F) will speed curing. These products will cure in

7 to 14 days @ 24°C (75°F).

Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure necessary. Maximum shear strength

is obtained with a 3-5 mil bondline.

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

*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow

manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

Adhesive Coverage (typical): A 0.005 in. thick bondline will yield a coverage of

320 sq. ft./gallon.
