Best Practices for Henkel Armstrong A-271
-
Surface Preparation
Surfaced to be bonded should be clean and dry. For critical applications refer to Bulletin No. 964.
-
Application
Apply the adhesive to surfaces to be bonded (preferably both surfaces) and press together. Light clamping may be used to keep parts in position during cure.
-
Mixing
Bring both components to room temperature prior to mixing.
Cartridge format: Mixer should be attached keeping the cartridge vertical and any air pocket purged this way. After the mixer contains material, the mixer tip can be dropped to dispense pre-bleed amount. Attach a new static mixer with each cartridge, then pre-bleed the first 3 inches of dispensed material or until a uniform color is obtained. Maintain adequate velocity during dispensing to ensure complete mixing.
Bulk format: weigh and mix parts A and B accurately and thoroughly, scraping sides of container often. Do not pour from mixing container, transfer to a new container as residual unmixed material may cause a tacky spot on the surface of the casting. Maintain adequate velocity during dispensing to ensure complete mixing.
-
Curing
Allow to cure undisturbed until product is fully gelled or tack-free to the touch.
-
Clean-Up
Clean up uncured resin with suitable organic solvent such as MEK, acetone or other organic solvent.
