Typical Performance Characteristics

Note: The following technical information and data shouldbe considered representative or typical only and should not be used for

specification purposes.

A. Aluminum Overlap Shear

Overlap shear strength was measured on FPL etched 1" wide by 1/2" overlap specimens. The bonds were made from 2 panels of

4" x 7" x 0.063", 2024 T-3 clad aluminum bonded together and cut into 1" wide specimens. The separation rate of the testing jaws

was 0.1"/minute. Tests similar to ASTM D1002.

B. Aluminum T-Peel

T-Peel bonds were measured on 1" wide specimens cut from two FPL etched 8" x 8" x 0.032", 2024 T-3 clad aluminum panels

bonded together. The separation rate of the testing jaws was 20"/minute. Test method similar to ASTM D1876.
