Best Practices for 3M 406

*See Terms of Use Below
1. Surface Preparation
  
  Solvents, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), toluene and 3M™ Citrus Based Cleaner will soften this bonding film adhesive and can be used to remove excess adhesive in unwanted areas. Soaking bonds in these solvents can also aid in debonding operations where appropriate.
  
  Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
2. Application
  
  To make a bond using 3M™ Bonding Film 406, the adhesive can be first tacked (lightly bonded) to one of the substrates using low heat, and placing the second substrate to the exposed adhesive surface, making the bond using heat and pressure.
  
  Alternatively, place the adhesive film between the two substrates and make the bond through heat and pressure using a heated press, a hot roll laminator, a hot shoe thermode method or similar equipment.
  
  One approach to establishing the optimum bonding conditions for a user’s application is to evaluate a series of bonding temperatures, for example 250, 270, 290 and 310°F (121, 132, 143 and 154°C). Time and pressure will be dictated by the thickness of the substrate and the type of substrate being bonded. Thicker substrates and more difficult to bond surfaces will require longer times, higher pressures and/or higher temperatures.
  
  Once the bond is made, the bondline should be allowed to cool somewhat before stress is applied to the bond. Generally, cooling the bondline below 200°F (93°C) is adequate to allow the bonded parts to be unfixtured/unclamped and handled. For reference, the following table shows typical bond strengths for bonds made at various temperatures. Such a table can be used to evaluate optimum bondline temperatures. It is very important to note that this table is valid only for the specific substrates shown. Varying temperature, pressure, or substrates can affect bond strengths. User should develop a similar table using the specific substrates involved.
