For Bulk Containers

Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the proportion specified on the product label or in

the typical uncured properties section. Mix approximately 15 seconds after obtaining a

uniform color.

3. Apply adhesive and join surfaces within the open time listed for the specific product.

Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time.

4. Allow adhesive to cure at 60°F (16°C) or above until completely firm. Applying heat up to

150°F (66°C) will increase cure speed.

5. Keep parts from moving during cure. Apply contact pressure or fixture in place if

necessary. Optimum bond line thickness ranges from 0.005 to 0.020 inch; shear strength

will be maximized with thinner bond lines, while peel strength reaches a maximum with

thicker bond lines.

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

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

manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesives are designed to be used on metal, wood,

and most plastic surfaces. The following cleaning methods are suggested for common

surfaces:

Steel:

1. Wipe free of dust and dirt with pure solvent such as acetone or isopropyl alcohol.*

2. Sandblast or abrade using clean fine grit abrasives.

3. Wipe again with clean solvent to remove loose particles.*

Aluminum:

1. Wipe free of dust and dirt with pure solvent such as acetone or isopropyl alcohol.*

2. Sandblast or abrade using clean fine grit abrasives.

3. Wipe again with clean solvent to remove loose particles.*

4. When using a primer, apply adhesive within 4 hours of primer application.

Plastics/Rubbers:

1. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol.*

2. Abrade using fine grit abrasives.

3. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol.*

Glass:

1. Solvent wipe surface using acetone or MEK.*

2. Apply a thin coating of a silane adhesion promoter to the glass surfaces to be bonded

and allow to dry completely before bonding.

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

manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
