Performance Advantages
- Rapid Handling Strength: Achieves functional bond strength in seconds, accelerating throughput.
- Superior Adhesion Profile: Bonds effectively to:
- Challenging Surface Compatibility: Proven adhesion on acidic or electroplated surfaces (e.g., chromated finishes).
- Low Viscosity for Precision Application: Excellent capillary flow into micro-gaps ensures uniform, void-free bonds.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains structural integrity from –40°C to 120°C, suitable for both indoor and under-hood applications.
Typical Applications
- Electronics: Securing small components, coil tacking, sensor mounting
- Automotive: Interior trim assembly, emblem bonding, rubber gasket fixation
- Consumer Appliances: Housing repair, control panel attachment, decorative element bonding
- Industrial Maintenance: Emergency repairs of metal/plastic parts with minimal downtime
- Craft & DIY: Wood joinery, leatherwork, model building, and hobbyist projects
Application Guidelines
- Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, or release agents.
- For low-surface-energy substrates (e.g., PP, PE), use a compatible primer to enhance bond performance.
- Apply in a well-ventilated area; avoid skin and eye contact.
- Store unopened containers in a cool, dry place (<25°C) to maximize shelf life.
