General Information

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be use with chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials. Where washing systems are used to clean the surfaces before bonding, it is important to check the compatibility of the washing solution with the adhesive. In some cases, these solutions can affect the cure and performance of the adhesive. This product is not recommended for use on certain plastics. Users are recommended to confirm compatibility of the product with such substrates.

Directions For Use

For assembly
1. The substrate surfaces must be clean and free of grease.
2. Shake the product thoroughly before use.
3. If the cure speed is too slow, consider using activator.
4. Apply several drops to the nut & bolt.
5. Assemble and tighten as required.
6. To prevent the clogging of the bottle nozzle, do not let the tip touch the metal surfaces during application.
For disassembly & cleanup
1. Use localized heat (250 ℃) to nut and bolt, disassemble while hot.
2. Use a wire brush to clean the charred product.

Typical Curing Performance

Cure Speed vs. Substrate
The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The graph below
shows the breakaway strength developed with time on M10 steel
nuts and bolts compared to different materials and tested according
to ISO 10964.

Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap
The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Gaps in threaded
fasteners depends on thread type, quality and size. The following
graph shows shear strength developed with time on steel pins and
collars at different controlled gaps and tested according to ISO
10123.

Cure Speed vs. Temperature
The rate of cure will depend on the temperature. The graph below
shows the breakaway strength developed with time at different
temperatures on M10 steel nuts and bolts and tested according to ISO
10964.

Cure Speed vs. Activator
Where cure speed is unacceptably long, or large gaps are present,
applying activator to the surface will improve cure speed. The graph
below shows the breakaway strength developed with time on M10
zinc dichromate steel nuts and bolts using Activator 7649 and tested
according to ISO 10964.
