  • Best Practices for Parker Lord IMB 3050 Primer

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Application

      Easy to Use., Apply primer by dip, brush or spray methods. The recommended dry film thickness of LORD IMB 3050 primer is 2-5 micron (0.05-0.2 mil).

    2. Surface Preparation

      Remove grease, oil, fingerprints, dust, mold release agents and other contaminants from the surfaces to be bonded. Wear chemical resistant gloves, such as nitrile

      avoid latex gloves. Wipe the surfaces with a clean cloth soaked in a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol or heptane. On metal surfaces, a suitable alkaline degreasing agent may be used. Rinse metals and allow the surfaces to thoroughly dry., Although plasma treatment of thermoplastic substrates is typically not necessary, it can improve the wetting properties of the primer on more difficult, or low surface energy, substrates.

    3. Mixing

      No agitation is required before or during use. LORD IMB 3050 primer is used full strength for brush, dip and spray applications. If necessary, primer can be diluted with propylene glycol methyl ether (DOWANOL® PM) up to a 1:1 ratio., For bonding difficult silicones, or for enhanced bond durability during exposure to extreme environments such as steam autoclave, LORD IMB 3040B catalyst can be added to LORD IMB 3050 primer. A mix ratio of 10 parts IMB 3050 primer to 2 parts IMB 3040B catalyst is the recommended starting point. To mix the components, weigh out the appropriate amount of IMB 3050 component into a secondary container. Add the corresponding amount of IMB 3040B component and thoroughly stir until completely mixed. Mixed working life is approximately 24 hours at room temperature.

    4. Curing

      Dry primer for 30 minutes at room temperature

      do not use IR drying. For faster drying, a convection oven at 65°C (149°F) can be used., Parts should be molded within 24 hours of primer application. During this time, avoid exposure to excessive humid conditions. Parts should be stored at <50% relative humidity.

    5. Clean-Up

      Use MEK or propylene glycol methyl ether for clean up of uncured primer. Thoroughly cured primer may require solvent immersion for extended periods of time, followed by mechanical abrasion.
