Bonding speed is very fast, so ensure the parts are aligned correctly before bonding. The product is normally applied manually from the package. Apply sparingly to a surface and press down firmly until the required strength is achieved. As a general rule, application of too little cyanoacrylate can result in slow cure speed and lower tensile strength.
- Cure Speed vs Environmental Conditions : Cyanoacrylate requires surface moisture on the substrates in order to initiate the curing mechanism. Cure speed is slower under low humidity conditions. Low temperatures will also reduce the curing speed. All relative cure speed values are tested at 21°C.
- Healing Speed vs Bond Opening : Cyanoacrylates give better results when assembling close parts. The product should be applied in a very thin line to ensure rapid polymerization and a strong bond. Excessive clearances resulted in slower cure speeds.
- Heat Resistance : Cyanoacrylates are suitable for use at temperatures up to 80ºC. At 80°C, the bond will be approximately 70% of the strength obtained at 21°C. The bond strength at 100°C is approximately 50% of the maximum strength obtained at 21°C.
- Heat Aging : Cyanoacrylates retain over 90% of their strength when heated to 80°C for 90 days, then tested at 21°C. Heating the bond to 100°C and then testing at 21°C yields a bond strength of approximately 50% of the initial strength.
- Chemical Resistance / Solvents : Cyanoacrylates exhibit excellent chemical resistance to most oils and solvents, including motor oil, leaded gasoline, ethanol, propanol. Cyanoacrylates are not resistant to high levels of humidity and humidity over time.
