In the uncured, liquid state, the adhesive wets the metal surfaces, keying into all surface irregularities and fills the gaps between the bonded parts. It allows machining tolerances to be relaxed; helping reduce manufacturing costs. It is fast-curing and can be used on less reactive metals such as stainless steel.

Features & Benefits

• Rapid cure
• Very high strength
• Improved fatigue life
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Good gap filling

Applications

• Bonding metal surfaces in demanding conditions

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

• Apply a circumferential bead, preferentially to the female component. Assemble with a twisting action.
• For larger components use thixotropic products to prevent run off.
• Take care to ensure adhesive does not enter ball races or other mechanisms.
