- Surface Preparation
Crestomer 1186PA has excellent adhesion to FRP material provided that the surface has been maintained free of dust and grease. This can be guaranteed by the use of propietary stripable cloths such as peel ply (without lubricant contaminates). If the laminate surface is more than three days old it is recommended that they are lightly abraded and wiped with acetone or styrene on a lint-free, clean cloth prior to bonding.
- Applications
- Crestomer® 1186PA is supplied pre-accelerated. The required hardener is a medium reactivity MEKP catalyst. The catalyst is added at 2% v/w. Crestomer® 1186PA can be applied with a spatula or from a dispensing unit, taking care to keep air entrapment to a minimum. Application should always be carried out at temperatures above 15°C / 59°F. Recommended temperature range for application is between 18°C and 25°C / 64°F - 77°F. The use of additional pigments or fillers is not recommended as they can affect the performance of the adhesive.
- For industrial / commercial use only. The user must determine the suitability of a selected adhesive for a given substrate and application. Contact your local Scott Bader representative for questions or assistance with the selection of adhesives for your use. This product is intended for use by skilled individuals at their own risk. Recommendations contained herein are based on information we believe to be reliable. The properties and strength values are obtained under controlled conditions at the Scott Bader laboratory.
