Electrical and Thermal Properties

Environmental Resistance

Humidity Resistance: High humidity has minimal e ect on adhesive performance. No signi cant reduction in bond strength is observed after exposure for 7 days at

90°F (32°C) and 90% relative humidity.

UV Resistance: When properly applied, nameplates and decorative trim parts are not adversely a ected by exposure.

Water Resistance: Immersion in water has no appreciable e ect on the bond strength. After 100 hours at room temperature, the high bond strength is maintained.

Temperature Cycling Resistance: High bond strength is maintained after cycling four times through:

4 hours at 158°F (70°C)

4 hours at -20°F (-29°C)

4 hours at 73°F (22°C)

Chemical Resistance: When properly applied, nameplate and decorative trim parts will hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals including oil, mild acids,

and alkalis.

Handling/Application Information

Application Ideas

• Foam to powder coated painted surfaces.

• Low surface energy plastic adhesion.

Application Techniques

Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and improve

bond strength. To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well uni ed. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or

heptane.*

*Note: Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when using solvents. Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F

(21°C to 38°C). Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too rm to adhere readily.

However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in original cartons at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity.

If stored under proper conditions, these products retain their performance and

properties for 24 months from date of manufacture.
