Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Basic Uses
MIX2FIX FC Gray Adhesive may be used as a general-purpose adhesive to bond metal, wood, fiberglass, glass, ceramics and many hard plastics. It forms a strong bond that is tough enough to be drilled, tapped, filed or sanded after final cure.
- Applications Limitations
- Does not adhere to polyethylene, polypropylene or PTFE.
- Becomes very hot during cure; do not mix
- more than 8 oz. (224 g.) total at once, i.e., 4 oz. 112 g.) each of Part A and Part B.
- Maximum temperature range is 250°F (121°C) continuous, 300°F (149°C) intermittent.
- See performance data for temperature limits.
- Do not apply at temperatures below 41°F (5°C).
- Not intended for structural applications.
- How to use
Surface preparation
To achieve optimum adhesion, surfaces should be dry and free of grease or dirt. Grit-blasting or abrading the surface prior to cleaning helps insure a good bond.
Mixing and application
Wear impermeable gloves when mixing or handling uncured product. Mix equal portions of Part A and Part B by weight or volume until uniform. Do not mix more than 8 oz. (224 g.) total at one time, i.e., 4 oz. (112 g.) each of Part A and Part B. Material becomes very hot during cure. Use within 3 minutes of mixing; bonds made after 3 minutes may not develop full properties. Remove excess material before product begins to set. Allow MIX2FIX FC Gray Adhesive to harden until a strong bond has formed before handling or returning to service, normally 60 to 90 minutes depending on the nature of the application. Product cures faster at higher temperatures and larger volumes, slower at lower temperatures and in thin sections.
