Rapid Bond SE 5min Off-White
A two-component methacrylate adhesive for structural bonding.
Features & Benefits
- High shear strength - ideal for use on structural joining of metals, composites and plastics
- Primerless bonding for most metals, including steel and aluminum - minimal surface preparation
- Excellent resistance to hydrocarbons, acids and salt solutions - wide range of application possibilities in harsh environments
Application
Ideal for structural joining of metals, (including aluminium, stainless steel) GRP, composites, plastics, (includes ABS, acrylics, vinyl, PVC, polycarbonates) epoxy laminates and gel coats where high impact strengths are needed.
Typical uses include: door skins, bumper assemblies, automotive spoilers, vents, housings, mouldings, signs and displays.
Instructions
Always use in a well-ventilated area. When components are mixed together heat is generated, the amount of heat will depend on the thickness of the bond line.
1. Abrade surface to be bonded with medium grit paper, then wipe clean.
2. Cleaning with KENT Acrysol or Soft Surface Cleaner is preferred.
3 Balance cartridge, then attach correct nozzle and insert into applicator gun.
4. Extrude first 20 mm of KENT Rapid Bond SE and discard to ensure a proper mix has been achieved in the nozzle.
5. Apply KENT Rapid Bond SE to one surface, press parts together with finger pressure only. Ensure that the bond gap is filled completely when the two parts are joined. Allow for squeeze out at the edges of the bond, to ensure even filling.
6. Carefully clamp parts, if required, to secure the bond and prevent joint movement while the adhesive cures. Do not apply excessive pressure that may cause an excessively thin bond line.
8. Use a sharp paring tool to remove excess adhesive, partially cured adhesive can be removed with sharp knife, cured material can be removed by sanding / scraping.
N.B.: Always apply KENT Rapid Bond SE in beads across surface of larger areas.
