GENERAL INFORMATION

For safe handling information on this product, consult the

Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen

and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as

a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.

Directions for use:

1. For best performance part surfaces should be clean and

free of grease.

2. For high strength structural bonds, remove surface

contaminants such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold

release agents and all other surface contaminants.

3. Dual Cartridges: To use simply insert the cartridge into

the application gun and start the plunger into the cylinders

using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the

cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be

sure both sides are flowing evenly and freely. If automatic

mixing of resin and hardener is desired, attach the mixing

nozzle to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing

the adhesive. For hand mixing, expel the desired amount

of the adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix for approximately

15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.

Bulk Containers: Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in

the proportions specified in Product Description section.

Mix vigorously, approximately 15 seconds after uniform

color is obtained.

4. For maximum bond strength apply adhesive evenly to

both surfaces to be joined.

5. Application to the substrates should be made within 20

minutes. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures

will reduce this working time.

6. Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at

25 °C for 24 hours for high strength. Heat up to 93 °C, will

speed curing.

7. Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure is

neccesary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a 0.1

to 0.2 mm bond line.
