Handling/Application Information
Application Equipment
For small or intermittent applications the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EPX™ applicator is a convenient method of application.
For larger applications these adhesives may be applied by use of flow equipment. Two-part meter/mixing/dispensing equipment is available for intermittent or production
line use. These systems may be desirable because of their variable shot size and flow rate characteristics and are adaptable to many applications.
1. For optimum strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However, the
amount of surface preparation directly depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by user. For specific surface preparations on
common substrates, see the following section on Surface Preparation.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ DP100 and DP100 NS Adhesives are suppled in a dual syringe plastic Duo-Pak cartridge as part of the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EPX™ Applicator system.
To use, simply insert the Duo-Pak cartridge into the EPX applicator and start the plunger into the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the Duo-Pak
cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides of the Duo-Pak cartridge are flowing evenly and freely. If mixing of Part A and Part B is desired,
attach the EPX mixing nozzle to the Duo-Pak cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive. For hand mixing, expel the desired amount of adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix
approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.
Directions for Use: While holding cartridge in an upright position, remove insert from Duo-Pak cartridge by unscrewing plastic nut. Detach metal removal disc from insert to
free plastic nut for nozzle attachment. Clear orifices if necessary. Attach mixing nozzle and secure with plastic nut. Place cartridge into EPX Applicator. Dispense a small
quantity of adhesive to assure both components are dispensing equally. Apply adhesive to clean surfaces, join parts, secure until set up (20 minutes @ 75°F [24°C]). Leave
nozzle attached to store. Replace nozzle after storage.
Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the proportions specified in the Typical Uncured Properties section. Mix approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.
4. For maximum bond strength apply adhesive evenly to both surfaces to be joined.
5. Application to the substrates should be make within 5 minutes. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time.
6. Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at 60°F (16°C) or above until completely firm. Heat, up to 200°F (93°C), will speed curing. These products will fully
cure in 24-48 hours @ 75°F (24°C).
7. Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure is necessary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a 3-5 mil bond line.
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
Adhesive Coverage: A 0.005 in. thick bondline will typically yield a coverage of 320 sqft/gallon.
Surface Preparation
Steel:
1. Wipe free of dust with oil-free solvent such as acetone or isopropyl alcohol.*
Aluminum:
1. Acid Etch: Place panels in the following solution for 10 minutes at 150°F ± 5°F (66°C ± 2°C).
Sulfuric Acid, 66°Be 38.5 - 41.5 oz./gallon 2024-T3 aluminum (dissolved) 0.2 oz./gallon minimum Tap Water as needed to balance
3. Dry: Air dry 15 minutes and force dry 10 minutes at 150°F ± 10°F (66°C ± 5°C).
5. Option 2: Degrease with an industrial solvent such as MEK*; abrade with ScotchBrite™ 7447 abrasive (or sandpaper of approximately 180 grit) and wipe again with
solvent*.
Plastics/Rubber:
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
