- Suitable for vertical applications.
- ow shrinkage.
- Good environmental and chemical resistance.
- Bonds a wide variety of materials.
Application of adhesive :
The resin/hardener mix may be applied manually or robotically to the pretreated and dry joint surfaces. Huntsman's
technical support group can assist the user in the selection of an suitable application method as well as suggest a
variety of reputable companies that manufacture and service adhesive dispensing equipment.
A layer of adhesive 0.05 to 0.10 mm thick will normally impart the greatest lap shear strength to the joint. Huntsman
stresses that proper adhesive joint design is also critical for a durable bond. The joint components should be
assembled and secured in a fixed position as soon as the adhesive has been applied.
