Best Practices for 3M 2290
-
Surface Preparation
For high strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. The amount of surface preparation depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by user.
See Vendor Technical Data Sheet for more info.
-
Application
3M Scotch-Weld™Epoxy/Adhesive Coating 2290 can be applied by brushing, flow coating, dip coating, roll coating, knife coating and spraying. For spray application, use a DeVilbiss JGA-70-FX spray gun or equivalent applicator. The atomizing air should be approximately 30 psi. Apply the adhesive at a dry film thickness of 1 mil if coating only one surface. If coating two surfaces, apply a 0.5 mil dry film to each surface. For film thickness less than 1 mil, it may be necessary to dilute Scotch-Weld 2290. For dilution, a 4 parts by weight methyl ethyl ketone to 1 part by weight tetradhydrofuran solution should be made. (A dilution of 1 part of this solution to 1 part of Scotch-Weld 2290 will give a dried film thickness of approximately 0.5 mil). Coverage per 1 mil dry film thickness is approximately 300 sq. ft./gal.
-
Curing
Curing is accomplished with heat. Scotch-Weld 2290 must reach a minimum of 335°F (168°C) for curing to be initiated. A curing temperature of 350°F (177°C) for 30-60 minutes under a pressure of 75 psi is suggested for optimum results. Allow time for the bond lines to reach the cure temperature before timing the cycle. With experimentation and evaluation by the user, lower pressure and/or higher temperature cures for shorter times can be used to make satisfactory bonds depending upon the end use requirements of each individual application.
