Additional Information
This product is not recommended for use in contact
with strong oxidizing materials and polar solvents
although will withstand a solvent wash without any
bond strength deterioration. Users are reminded
that all materials, whether innocuous or not, should
be handled in accordance with the principles of good
industrial hygiene. Full information can be obtained
from the Material Safety Data Sheet.
Surface Preparation
Surfaces should be clean, dry and grease‐free before
applying the adhesive. Use a suitable solvent (such as
acetone or isopropanol) for the degreasing of
surfaces. Some metals such as aluminium, copper
and its alloys will benefit from light abrasion with
emery cloth (or similar), to remove the oxide layer.
Directions for Use
1) Apply the adhesive sparingly to one surface
(usually 1 drop is sufficient).
2) Bring the components together quickly and
correctly aligned.
3) Apply sufficient pressure to ensure the
adhesive spreads into a thin film.
4) Do not disturb or re‐align until curing is
achieved, normally in a few seconds.
5) Any surplus adhesive can be removed with a
suitable solvent.
NB:
For difficult or porous surfaces using a
Permabond activator is recommended.
If bonding polypropylene, polyethylene, PTFE or
silicone, prime first with Permabond Polyolefin
Primer.
Storage & Handling
Storage Temperature
2 to 7°C
(35 to 45°F)
Shelf Life
Stored in original unopened containers
12 months
Allow adhesive to reach room temperature
before opening bottle to prevent condensation
inside the bottle which can reduce shelf life.
