  • Best Practices for 3M DP640

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      For optimum 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 directly depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by the user.

      See Vendor technical data sheet for more information.

    2. Application

      Application to the substrates should be made within 5 minutes for Scotch-Weld urethane adhesive DP605 NS Off-White or 40 minutes for Scotch-Weld urethane adhesive DP640 Brown. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time.

      Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at 60°F (16°C) or above until firm. Heat up to 200°F (93°C) will speed curing.

      Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure is necessary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a 3-5 mil bond line.

    3. Mixing

      Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the ratios specified in the typical uncured properties section. Resulting color should be uniform.

    4. Clean-Up

      Excess uncured adhesive can be cleaned up with ketone type solvents.*

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