Best Practices for 3M EZ17005
-
Surface Preparation
Apply to clean, dry surfaces. Remove oil, grease and other contaminants by wiping with isopropyl alcohol. For fiber reinforced plastics and other materials that are often contaminated with mold release agents, it is recommended that the surface be solvent wiped, abraded and solvent-wiped.
Plastic: Wipe with isopropyl alcohol soaked cheesecloth. Allow solvent to evaporate before bonding. Note: 3M™Scotch-Weld™Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) Easy Adhesives are not recommended for bonding untreated polyolefins.
Plastic contaminated with mold release: Wipe with isopropyl alcohol soaked cheesecloth, abrade with fine grit abrasive, wipe with isopropyl alcohol soaked cheesecloth. Allow solvent to evaporate before bonding.
FRP, Rubber and Aluminum (uncoated):Wipe with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) soaked cheesecloth, abrade with fine grit abrasive, wipe with MEK soaked cheesecloth. Allow solvent to evaporate before bonding. Priming may be necessary on aluminum if part will be subjected to hot/humid conditions
Glass: Wipe with MEK-soaked cheesecloth. Allow solvent to evaporate before bonding. Priming may be necessary on glass if subject part will be subjected to hot/humid conditions.
Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot light, and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when handling such materials.
-
Application
After heating to recommended application temperature, apply adequate amount of 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) Easy Adhesive to one of the substrates to be bonded. Join the substrates within the adhesives specified open time and hold/fixture the bonded part until the adhesive has adequately set.
Do not use to bond metal or glass to itself or each other or cure will not occur due to low moisture vapor transmission of the substrate.
Important: Adhesive heated at application temperature for more than 40 hours should be discarded.
-
Curing
The cure rate will vary depending on air temperature, relative humidity, substrate type and bond line thickness as it is more rapid on wood (moisture rich/porous) than on plastic.
-
Clean-Up
Allow products to solidify. Remove uncured waxy material (usually within the first 20 minutes after application) by scraping with a putty knife or similar tool. For cured material, remove by cutting or sanding. DO not use flame heat to remove adhesive.
-
Testing
All bonds were cured for a minimum period of 7 days at 77°F (25°C)/50% RH before testing. Bonds were prepared using the suggested surface preparation procedure for the particular substrate tested.
