Shelf Life Details Store between 55°F and 75°. Continuous storage above 75°F, reduces the shelf life of the materials. Prolonged exposure above 100°F quickly diminishes the products reactivity, and should be avoided. Shelf life can be extended by refrigeration between 45°Ff and 55°F. DO NOT FREEZE., Store in a cool, dry place. Shelf Life Temperature (°F) 55 to 75 -

Best Practices for Devcon (ITW) Plastic Welder
-
Surface Preparation
Clean surface by solvent-wiping any deposits of heavy grease, oil, dirt, or other contaminants. Surface can also be cleaned with industrial cleaning equipment such as vapor phase degreasers or hot aqueous baths. If working with metal, abrade or roughen the surface to significantly increase the microscopic bond area and optimize the bond strength.
-
Application
1. Apply mixed product directly to one surface in an even film or as a bead.
2. Assemble with mating part within recommended working time.
3. Apply firm pressure between mating parts to minimize any gap and ensure good contact (a small fillet of product should flow out the edges to display adequate gap fill.)
4. Bond line thickness of mixed adhesive should be @ .015”-.030” for optimum adhesion.
For very large gaps: - 1. Apply product to both surfaces
2. Spread to cover entire area OR make a bead pattern to allow flow throughout the joint.
Let bonded assemblies stand for recommended functional cure time prior to handling.
CAPABILITIES: Can withstand processing forces
Do not drop, shock load, or heavily load
-
Mixing
Proper homogenous mixing of resin and hardener is essential for the curing and development of stated strengths.
25 ML DEV-TUBE - 1. Squeeze material into a small container the size of an ashtray.
2. Using mixing stick included on Dev-tube handle, vigorously mix components for one (1) minute.
3. Immediately apply to substrate.
35ML/50 ML/250 ML/380 ML/400 ML CARTRIDGES 1. Attach cartridge to Mark V™ [50ml], 380ml, 250ml [15:1 caulk gun], or 400ml dispensing systems [manual or pneumatic].
2. Open tip.
3. Burp cartridge by squeezing out some material until both sides are uniform (ensures no air bubbles are present during mixing).
4. Attach mix nozzle to end of cartridge.
5. Apply to substrate.
