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.

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 60°F (16°C) or above until
firm. Heat, up to 200°F (93°C), will speed curing.
6. The following times and temperatures will result in a full cure:

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.
*When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and
follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use. Use solvents in
accordance with local regulations.

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 190°F ± 10°F
(88°C ± 5°C) 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 71°C (150 to 160°F). 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 71°C
(150 to 160°F). 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 140°F (60°C)
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 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural
Adhesive Primer EC-3901 to the glass surfaces to be bonded and allow the primer
to dry a minimum of 30 minutes @ 75°F (24°C) before bonding.
*When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and
follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use. Use solvents in
accordance with local regulations.

E. 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.
