Handling/Curing Information Directions for Use 1. For high strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However, the amount of surface preparation directly depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by user. For suggested surface preparations of common substrates, see the following section on Surface Preparation. 2. These products consist of two parts. Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the proportions specified on the Product Label and in the Uncured Properties Section. Mix approximately 15 seconds after a uniform color is obtained. -2- Scotch-Weld TM Epoxy Adhesives 2216 B/A Gray * 2216 B/A Tan NS * 2216 B/A Translucent Handling/Curing Information (continued) 3. For maximum bond strength, apply product evenly to both surfaces to be joined. 4. Application to the substrates should be made within 90 minutes. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time. 5. Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at 60F (16C) or above until firm. Heat, up to 200F (93C), will speed curing. 6. The following times and temperatures will result in a full cure: Product 2216 Gray 2216 Tan NS 2216 Translucent Cure Temperature Time Time Time 75F (24C) 7 days 7 days 30 days 150F (66C) 120 minutes 120 minutes 240 minutes 200F (93C) 30 minutes 30 minutes 60 minutes 7. Keep parts from moving until handling strength is reached. Contact pressure is necessary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a 3-5 mil bond line. Maximum peel strength is obtained with a 17-25 mil bond line. 8. Excess uncured adhesive can be cleaned up with ketone type solvents.* Adhesive Coverage: A 0.005 in. thick bondline will typically yield a coverage of 320 sq. ft/gallon Application and Equipment Suggestions These products may be applied by spatula, trowel or flow equipment. Surface Preparation For high strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However, the amount of surface preparation directly depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by user. Two-part mixing/proportioning/dispensing equipment is available for intermittent or production line use. These systems are ideal because of their variable shot size and flow rate characteristics and are adaptable to many applications. The following cleaning methods are suggested for common surfaces. Steel or Aluminum (Mechanical Abrasion) 1. Wipe free of dust with oil-free solvent such as acetone or alcohol solvents.* 2. Sandblast or abrade using clean fine grit abrasives (180 grit or finer). 3. Wipe again with solvents to remove loose particles. 4. If a primer is used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation. If 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Structural Adhesive Primer EC-1945 B/A is used, apply a thin coating (0.0005") on the metal surfaces to be bonded, air dry for 10 minutes, then cure for 30 minutes at 180F (82C) prior to bonding. *Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer's precautions and directions for use. Use solvents in accordance with local regulations. -3- Scotch-Weld TM Epoxy Adhesives 2216 B/A Gray * 2216 B/A Tan NS * 2216 B/A Translucent Surface Preparation (continued) Aluminum (Chemical Etch) Aluminum alloys may be chemically cleaned and etched as per ASTM D 2651. This procedure states to: 1. Alkaline Degrease - Oakite 164 solution (9-11 oz/gal of water) at 190F 10F (88C 5C) for 10-20 minutes. Rinse immediately in large quantities of cold running water. 2. Optimized FPL Etch Solution (1 liter): Material Amount Distilled Water 700 ml plus balance of liter (see below) Sodium Dichromate 28 to 67.3 grams Sulfuric Acid 287.9 to 310.0 grams Aluminum Chips 1.5 grams/liter of mixed solution To prepare 1 liter of this solution, dissolve sodium dichromate in 700 ml of distilled water. Add sulfuric acid and mix well. Add additional distilled water to fill to 1 liter. Heat mixed solution to 66 to 71C (150 to 160F). Dissolve 1.5 grams of 2024 bare aluminum chips per liter of mixed solution. Gentle agitation will help aluminum dissolve in about 24 hours. To etch aluminum panels, place them in FPL etch solution heated to 66 to 71C (150 to 160F). Panels should soak for 12 to 15 minutes. 3. Rinse: Rinse panels in clear running tap water. 4. Dry: Air dry 15 minutes; force dry 10 minutes (minimum) at 140F (60C) maximum. 5. If primer is to be used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation. Plastics/Rubber 1. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol.* 2. Abrade using fine grit abrasives (180 grit or finer). 3. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol.* Glass 1. Solvent wipe surface using acetone or MEK.* 2. Apply a thin coating (0.0001 in. or less) of 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Structural Adhesive Primer EC-3901 to the glass surfaces to be bonded and allow the primer to dry a minimum of 30 minutes @ 75F (24C) before bonding. *Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer's precautions and directions for use. Use solvents in accordance with local regulations. -4- Scotch-Weld TM Epoxy Adhesives 2216 B/A Gray * 2216 B/A Tan NS * 2216 B/A Translucent Typical Adhesive Performance Characteristics A.

Overlap Shear Strength on Abraded Metals, Plastics, and Rubbers. Overlap shear strengths were measured on 1" x 1/2" overlap specimens. These bonds were made individually using 1" by 4" pieces of substrate (Tested per ASTM D 1002). The thickness of the substrates were: cold rolled, galvanized and stainless steel - 0.056-0.062", copper - 0.032", brass - 0.036", rubbers - 0.125", plastics - 0.125". All surfaces were prepared by solvent wiping/abrading/ solvent wiping. The jaw separation rate used for testing was 0.1 in/min for metals, 2 in/min for plastics, and 20 in/min for rubbers.
