Handling/Application
Information Directions for Use
1. Surface Preparation: Surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry and dust free.
Wiping with a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)* will aid in removing
oil and dirt.
2. Application Temperature: For best results the temperature of the adhesive and
the surfaces being bonded must be at least 65°F (18°C).
3. Application: Stir or agitate well before using.
Porous Surface(s): Brush a uniform, generous coat of adhesive on the least
porous surface to be bonded. Assemble the materials immediately with
sufficient pressure to ensure contact.
Non-Porous Surface(s): Apply a uniform coat of adhesive to each surface.
Allow adhesive to dry until it is tacky, but does not transfer. Assemble
materials with sufficient pressure to ensure contact.
4. Cleanup: Excess adhesive may be removed with a solvent such as methyl ethyl
ketone (MEK).*
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all sources of ignition in the area and
follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when handling
such materials.
Application Equipment
Suggestions Note: Appropriate application equipment can enhance adhesive performance. The
user is responsible for evaluating application equipment in light of the user’s
particular purpose and method of application.
1. Pumping: Use a 5:1 ratio double acting, ball check pump with a 3 inch diameter
air motor. All packings and glands in contact with the adhesive should be PTFE
coated.
2. Hoses: Material hoses should be nylon lined with a working pressure of 500 psi or
greater.
3. Brushes: Brushes designed for use with oil based paint may be used.
