Shelf Life Details Store product at 60-80°F (16-27°C) for maximum storage life. Higher temperatures reduce normal storage life. Lower temperatures may cause increased viscosity of a temporary nature. Rotate stock on a “first in-first out” basis.;When stored in the original, unopened container at the storage conditions suggested, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 FR has a shelf life of 15 months from the date of shipment from 3M. Bulk Scotch-Weld Epoxy DP100 FR has a shelf life of 24 months. Shelf Life Temperature (°F) 61 to 81 Shelf Life (mon) 15 -

Best Practices for 3M DP100FR
-
Surface Preparation
For high strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However, the amount of surface preparation necessary depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by user.
See Vendor technical data sheet for more information
-
Application
To use, simply insert the duo-pak cartridge into the EPX Applicator and start the plunger into the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the duo-pak cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides of the duo-pak cartridge are flowing evenly and freely.
-
Mixing
If simultaneous mixing of Part A and Part B is desired, attach the EPX mixing nozzle to the duo-pak cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive.
When mixing Part A and Part B manually, the components must be mixed in the ratio indicated in the Physical Uncured Properties section. Thorough mixing of the two components is required to obtain optimum properties.
Two-part mixing/proportioning/dispensing equipment is available for intermittent or production line use. These systems are ideal for line use because of their variable shot size and flow rate characteristics and are adaptable to most applications.
-
Clean-Up
Solvent wipe surface using acetone or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).*
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
