- Instructions for Use
Mixing
Thoroughly mix prior to use and/or further solvent addition. Exercise care to prevent solvent loss during deairing. Accomplish additional dilution for thin film applications by adding appropriate solvent, followed by mixing and deairing.
Warning: Consult the MSDS for R-1009 prior to use as the solvent carrier is hazardous.
Substrate Considerations
Although the oxime cure system is generally considered to be non-corrosive to most substrates, discoloration may occur in the presence of copper or copper alloys.
Surface Preparation
Clean the surface with an organic solvent (e.g. tert butyl acetate (R2-1001)). Follow solvent cleaning with an IPA wipe. Wait 15 minutes until all the solvent has evaporated before the application of any materials. If applicable, apply adhesion promoter (primer) such as NuSil Techology’s SP-120 or SP-121 and allow 30 minutes for the adhesion promoter to cure. Keep the surface clean and free of dust and particulates until the dispersion is applied.
