|---|---|
| Set to touch: | Approx. 15 mins |
| Full cure: | 24 hours |
| Shear strength: | 86kg/cm² |
| Service temperature | -40 to 100 °C continuous, 150 °C intermittent |
Service temperature from the MightyLoc 9025 brochure, as on the product page; the source data sheet states none.
Pot life: the source data sheet states approx. 5 to 8 minutes and the MightyLoc 9025 brochures 3 minutes at 25°C. The shorter figure is shown: join and clamp within 3 minutes of mixing, as on the product page.
Application method
- All surfaces intended for bonding must be abraded and cleaned thoroughly using Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA) or Acetone prior to bonding.
- . DO NOT use oil-based cleaners like turpentine and paint thinners.
- Ensure surfaces are free of dust, dirt & grease before bonding.
- Apply equal amount of both Part A & B directly onto the area to be bonded. Mix them evenly and clamp parts in position immediately. **Uneven mix ratio may interfere with proper curing.
- For best result, allow bonded parts to set under clamped pressure for 15 minutes and above.
Storage Conditions
- Store original container in a cool and dry area (15-25ºC), away from direct sunlight. Storing this product otherwise may reduce shelf life and affects physical properties adversely.
- DO NOT transfer un-used product back to original container.
- DO NOT expose product within close proximity of open flame!
