Handling/Curing

Information

Directions for Use

Apply to clean, dry surfaces. Remove oil, grease and other contaminants by wiping

with isopropyl alcohol.*For fiber reinforced plastics and other materials that are

often contaminated with mold release agents, it is recommended that the surface

be solvent wiped, abraded and solvent-wiped.* For additional information, see

section on surface preparation. After heating to recommended application

temperature, apply adequate amount of 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Polyurethane

Reactive Adhesive to one of the substrates to be bonded. Join the substrates within

the adhesives specified open time and hold/fixture the bonded part until the

adhesive has adequately set. Do not use to bond metal or glass to itself or each

other or cure will not occur due to low moisture vapor transmission of the

substrate.

(Important: Adhesive heated at application temperature for more than 16 hours

should be discarded.)

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

and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

Dispensing Equipment

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Polyurethane Reactive Adhesive Cartridges can only be

dispensed through the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Polyurethane Reactive Adhesive

Applicator. Other container sizes can be dispensed through bulk equipment

specifically designed for use with hot melt polyurethane reactive adhesives

(P.U.R.). For more information on P.U.R. application equipment, contact your local

3M sales representative. All equipment must be used in strict accordance with the

recommendations of the manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not use Scotch-Weld polyurethane reactive adhesive above

275°F (135°C). Scotch-Weld polyurethane reactive adhesive should not be

applied to substrates that exceed 275°F (135°C).

Caution: Wear heat resistant gloves and safety glasses when handling. Container

sizes available: 10 fl. oz. cartridge, 2 kilogram foil bag, 1 gallon can, five

gallon pail, 55 gallon drum.
