Using it
To improve bonding on low energy plastic surfaces, Loctite primer may be applied to the bond area.
Larger bond gaps slow the cure. An activator can speed the cure in large gaps but may reduce final strength; apply the adhesive to one surface only, not to the activated or primed one.
Allow 24 to 72 hours for full strength before applying service loads.
10 to 30 seconds on steel at 22 °C and 50% RH (time to 0.1 N/mm²).
Storage and handling
Store unopened and dry at 2 °C to 8 °C. Storage below 2 °C or above 8 °C can adversely affect product properties. This is colder than the 8 °C to 21 °C range for many Loctite products.
Limits and safety
Not recommended for pure oxygen or oxygen-rich systems, or for chlorine or strong oxidisers. Read the safety data sheet before use.
