  • Best Practices for 3M 847

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      Remove all dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax, loose paint, etc. Wiping with a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or 3M™ Citrus Base Cleaner will aid in preparing the surface for bonding.

      When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

    2. Application

      For best results the temperature of the adhesive and surfaces to be bonded should be at least 65°F (18°C).

      Stir well before using

      Porous Surface(s): Brush, flow or spray a thin, even coat of adhesive to one or both surfaces. Coating both surfaces is preferred since it gives greater strength and permits longer open time before bonding. Very absorbent materials may require more than one coat. Bond while adhesive is still wet or aggressively tacky. Join surfaces with firm pressure.

      Non-Porous Surfaces: Brush, flow or spray a thin, even coat of adhesive to both surfaces. Allow adhesive to dry until tacky. Join surfaces with firm pressure.

    3. Curing

      Drying time depends on temperature, humidity, air movement, and porosity of the materials bonded. Greater immediate strength may be obtained by heat or solvent reactivation.

      Reactivation: To solvent reactivate, coat both surfaces with adhesive. Allow to dry tack-free. Lightly wipe one surface with a solvent such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK).* Complete bond within 30 seconds. To heat activate, coat both surfaces with adhesive. Allow adhesive to dry completely. Reactivate by heating one or both surfaces to a minimum of 180°F (82°C). Assemble immediately (while hot), using firm pressure to ensure contact.

      . Curing: 3M™ Nitrile High Performance Rubber & Gasket Adhesives 847 and 847H may be heat cured to obtain improved physical properties. Cure assembled parts at time and temperature listed using 100 psi pressure on the bond line.

    4. Clean-Up

      Excess adhesive may be removed with a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or acetone, preferably while adhesive is still wet.
