Best Practices for Parker Lord 310 Epoxy Adhesive
-
Surface Preparation
Remove soil, grease, oil, fingerprints, dust, mold release agents, rust and other contaminants from the surfaces to be bonded by solvent degreasing or alkaline cleaning.
On metal surfaces which are free of oxidation, use an isopropyl alcohol wipe. If necessary, use an abrasive material to remove tarnish. Always follow abrasion by a second cleaning to ensure removal of loose particles.
When bonding cured rubber, allow LORD 7701 adhesion enhancer/surface modifier to flash off before applying LORD 310 adhesive. Prime glass and ceramic surfaces with LORD AP-134 adhesion enhancer/surface modifier to promote adhesion.
Handle prepared surfaces carefully to avoid contamination. Assemble as soon as possible.
-
Application
Apply the mixed adhesive to bond surfaces using automatic meter/mix/dispense equipment, handheld cartridges or any convenient tool such as a stiff brush, spatula or trowel. For general use, a film thickness of approximately 0.02 inch (0.51 mm) is recommended. To control bondline thickness, a small amount of solid glass beads can be added into the mixed adhesive., Join the parts in such a way as to avoid entrapped air. Apply only enough pressure to ensure good wetting of the adhesive on both surfaces. Squeezing a little adhesive out at the edges is usually a sign of proper assembly. It is not necessary to clamp the assembly unless movement during adhesive cure is likely.
-
Mixing
Thoroughly mix the proper amount of resin and hardener until uniform in color and consistency. Be careful not to whip excessive air into the adhesive system. Handheld cartridges will automatically dispense the correct volumetric ratio of each component.
Heat buildup due to an exothermic reaction between the two components will shorten the working time of the adhesive. Mixing smaller quantities will minimize heat buildup. Do not use any adhesive that has begun to cure.
-
Curing
LORD 310 adhesive will cure to full strength in 24 hours, provided that the adhesive, substrates and ambient temperature are 65°F (18°C) or higher.
Higher temperatures will provide faster cure times, however, the bondline temperature should not exceed 325°F (162°C). Elevated temperature cure produces the highest bond strengths and impact resistance. Firm recommendations of cure times and temperatures depend on material composition and heating methods.
Once the adhesive has cured, it can be filed, sanded, machined or otherwise handled in the same way as a light metal. Paint, lacquers, enamels and other coatings can be applied to cured adhesive.
-
Clean-Up
Clean excess adhesive on the bonded assembly, as well as the equipment, prior to the adhesive cure with hot water and detergent or an organic solvent such as ketones. Once adhesive has cured, heat the adhesive to 400°F (204°C) or above to soften the cured adhesive. This allows the parts to be separated and the adhesive to be more easily removed. Some success may be achieved with commercial epoxy strippers.
