Best Practices for 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive 1469
-
Surface Preparation
A thoroughly cleaned, dry, grease free surface is essential for optimum performance. Cleaning methods which will produce a breakfree water film on metal surfaces are generally satisfactory. Surface preparations should be fully evaluated with the adhesive, especially if the need for resistance to specific environments is anticipated.
-
Application
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive EC-1469 can be applied by a spatula, knife coating, notched trowel, or by extruding into place. Standard equipment is available which allows pumping directly from five-gallon pails. When extruded through a Pyles-Semco cartridge (3/32" orifice 55 psi line pressure), the delivery rate at 72°F (22°C) is approximately 40 grams/ minute. A lower viscosity for ease of application can be obtained by warming Scotch-Weld EC-1469 to 100-120°F (38-49°C). Note: Scotch-Weld EC-1469 may start to thicken if held at 120°F (49°C) for more than 3 hours
-
Curing
Flow and Cure Initiation Temperatures: Normal flow and cure initiation temperatures for 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive EC-1469 are as follows: Flow Temperature: 60°F (16°C), Cure Initiation Temperature: 280-300°F (138-149°C)
Cure Pressure: The only pressure needed during the cure of Scotch-Weld EC-1469 is that required to keep parts in alignment and to overcome distortion and thermal expansion in the adherends.
Cure Temperature: The cure temperature may be varied from 300°F to 450°F (149°C to 232°C), depending on the materials being bonded, equipment available and bond properties desired. Scotch-Weld EC-1469 will wet the surface to which it has been applied. Heating at temperatures above 300°F (149°C) will chemically convert the adhesive into a high strength solvent-resistant bond. Cure temperatures in excess of 400°F (204°C) yield useful, but lower than optimum strengths. At these temperatures the time cycle must be determined for specific application. Bond line temperature rise rates from 2°F to 200°F (-17°C to 93°C) per minute can be used without affecting strength properties. Curing ovens must be vented to the outdoors.
Caution: Large volumes of Scotch-Weld EC-1469, if heated rapidly at temperatures above 300°F (149°C), will exotherm and char. This will generally occur if an adhesive thickness of greater than 1/8" thick is cured.
Cure Time: Cure time depends on the cure temperature used, methods of heat application, production limitations and bond properties required. Since no two bonding operations are exactly alike, it is suggested that a few simple experiments be conducted, varying both temperature and cure time to determine optimum conditions for the particular application.

Clean-Up
Excess adhesive and equipment may be cleaned up, prior to curing, with ketone* type solvent.
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
