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. For safe handling information on this product, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS):
Directions for use:
1) This product is light sensitive; exposure to daylight, UV light and artificial light should be kept to a minimum during storage and handling.
2) For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.
3) This product performs best in thin bond gaps (0.05 mm)
4) Excess adhesive can be dissolved with nitromethane or acetone.

TACK FREE TIME
Tack Free Time is the time in seconds required to achieve a tack free surface.
UV/Visible Light Sources:
Electrodeless, V bulb:
70 mW/cm2, measured @ 365 nm: < 10 s.
Electrodeless, H bulb:
30 mW/cm2, measured @ 365 nm: < 10 s.
100 mW/cm2, measured @ 365 nm: < 10 s.
Visible Light Sources:
Blue light laser:
70 mW/cm2, measured @ 445 nm: < 10 s.
CURE SPEED vs. SUBSTRATE (non-UV/Vis cure)
The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The table below shows the fixture time achieved on different materials at room temperature. This is defined as the time at which an adhesive bond (250 mm 2 ) is capable of su pporting a 3 kg load for 10 seconds. Fixture time measurements relate to non UV/Visible cure.Fixture Time (seconds) ABS 15 Acrylic 80 Polycarbonate 40 PVC 140 - Conversions
