Shelf Life Details Store product at 60-80°F (16-27°C) for maximum storage life. Higher temperatures reduce normal storage life. Lower temperatures cause increased viscosity of a temporary nature. Protect from freezing. Rotate stock on a “first in-first out” basis. When stored at the recommended temperatures in the original, unopened container, this product has a shelf life of 15 months from date of shipment by 3M.

Best Practices for 3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesive 4213NF
-
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be free of dust, dirt, grease, oil, mold release materials and other contaminants.
-
Application
For best results, the temperature of the adhesive and the surfaces being bonded should be at least 65°F (18°C). Porous surfaces or porous surface to non-porous surface: Brush, roll or flow a uniform coat of adhesive to both surfaces. Not recommended for use on two non-porous surfaces.
-
Curing
Join within 5 minutes, clamp or apply moderate pressure. Allow to dry for at least 30-45 minutes before handling.
-
Clean-Up
Wet adhesive may be removed with warm water.
