Best Practices for Henkel Loctite Ablestik 56C w/ Cat 11
-
Surface Preparation
Complete cleaning of the substrates should be performed to remove contamination such as oxide layers, dust, moisture, salt and oils which can cause poor adhesion or corrosion in a bonded part.
-
Application
Apply adhesive to all surfaces to be bonded and join together.
In most applications only contact pressure is required.
-
Mixing
Accurately weigh LOCTITE ABLESTIK 56C and LOCTITE CAT 11 into a clean container in the recommended ratio.
Blend components with spatula (2 to 3 minutes) and scrape the bottom and sides of the mixing container frequently to produce a uniform mixture.
-
Curing
Cure conditions (time and temperature) may vary based on customers' experience and their application requirements, as well as customer curing equipment, oven loading and actual oven temperatures.
