  • Best Practices for PermaBond MT3821

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      Surfaces should be clean, dry and grease-free before applying the adhesive. Use a suitable solvent (such as acetone or isopropanol) for the degreasing of surfaces. Some metals such as aluminium, copper and its alloys will benefit from light abrasion with emery cloth (or similar), to remove the oxide layer.

    2. Application

      Measure volumetrically 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener. Mix thoroughly taking care not to entrap air. Adhesive can be applied and mixed by automated dispensing equipment. If using cartridges, put cartridge in dispensing gun and affix static mixing nozzle. 2. Apply material. If potting

      take care to fill component and not entrap air. 3. If bonding a joint, assemble the parts. Parts must be joined within 10-20 minutes of mixing the two epoxy components

    3. Curing

      Full cure will be obtained after a minimum of 72 hours at 25°C (77°F). Heat can be used to accelerate the curing process
