Application Examples
• Foam to powder coated painted surfaces.
• Low surface energy plastic adhesion.
• Lens bonding applications
Application Techniques
Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure and moderate heat, from 100°F (38°C) to 130°F (54°C), will assist the adhesive in developing intimate contact with the bonding surface.
To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified. Typical cleaning solvents are methyl ethyl ketone for metals or isopropyl alcohol for plastics. Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when using cleaning solvents.
Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
