Shelf Life Details Freeze/Thaw Stable [5 cycles at 0°F (-18°C)]: Product should be stored at temperature above 40°F (4.4°C). Storage below 20°F (-6.7°C) will cause freezing and product will have to be completely thawed before using. Best storage temperature is between 60°F (15.6°C) and 80°F (26.7°C). Lower temperatures can cause increased viscosity of a temporary nature. After storage at lower temperatures can cause increased viscosity of a temporary nature. After storage at lower temperatures, the contents of the adhesive container should be allowed to warm to room temperature before using. Rotate stock on a "first-in, first-out" basis.;When stored at the recommended conditions in the original, unopened container, this product has a shelf life of 15 months from date of shipment. Shelf Life Temperature (°F) >40 Shelf Life Type From date of shipment. Shelf Life (mon) 15 -
Best Practices for 3M 4289NF
-
Surface Preparation
Surface should be clean and dry. Remove all dirt, dust, oil, grease, wax, loose paint, snow, frost, etc. to help assure adhesion. Wipe away standing water.
-
Application
For application at low temperature, the adhesive /sealant should be brought to job sites at normal room temperature and kept warm in an insulated storage box. Surface temperatures of the materials being bonded or sealed must be 20°F (-6.7°C) or higher.
Adhesive/sealant may be applied by notched trowel or in bead form with an air pressure flow gun or a manual caulking gun. To permit drying, at least one of the materials being bonded must be porous.
For bonding Styrofoam foam or bead board to such construction surfaces as concrete or block, apply at the rate of 50-80 sq. ft. per gallon using a notched trowel. Bonding range is an excess of 30 minutes at 70°F (21.1°C) and 30% R.H. Bonding range will vary depending upon temperature and humidity. Press insulation firmly into adhesive.
One gallon of material is sufficient to apply 375 lineal feet of 1/4 in. diameter bead.
-
Clean-Up
Adhesive/sealant may be cleaned up when wet by using soapy water. When adhesive has dried, use a solvent such as 3M™ Scotch - G rip™ Solvent No. 2.
Note: When using solvents, extinguish all sources of ignition and follow the manufacture's precautions and directions for use for handling such materials.
