Water Resistance
Performance
The bond strength of the adhesive increases as a
function of time and temperature.
High humidity has a minimal effect on adhesive
performance. Bond strengths are generally higher after
exposure for 7 days @ 32°C and 90% Relative Humidity.
Adhesive is not adversely affected by exposure to U.V.
After 100 hours in water @ ambient temperature, the
bond exhibits an increase in strength.
Increased bond strength after temperature cycling
– four cycles of:
4 hours @ +70°C, 4 hours @ -29°C, 16 hours @ 25°C
Parts hold after exposure to:
Gasoline, Oil, Freon™ TF, Sodium Chloride Solution,
Mild Acids and Alkalis.
Usable @ 232°C for short duration (Hours)
Usable @ 149°C for longer durations (Weeks)
One year Shelf Life @ 22°C and 50% RH. (Storage in
sealed plastic bag is recommended).
