Handling/Curing

Information 1. For optimum strength structural bonds, paint, oxide f ilms, oils, dust, mold release

agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely remo v ed. However , the

amount of surface preparation directly depends on the required bond strength and the

environmental aging resistance desired by user. For specif ic surf ace preparations on

common substrates, see the follo wing section on Surf ace Preparation.

2. Use gloves to minimize skin contact with adhesive.

3. These products consist of two parts.

Mixing and A pplying

F or Duo-P ak Cartridges - 50 ml

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ DP-100 and DP-100 NS Adhesi v es are suppled in a dual syringe

plastic Duo-Pak cartridge as part of the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EPX™ Applicator system.

To use, simply insert the Duo-Pak cartridge into the EPX applicator and start the plunger

into the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the Duo-Pak cartridge

cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides of the Duo-Pak cartridge

are flo wing evenly and freely. If mixing of Part A and P art B is desired, attach the EPX

mixing nozzle to the Duo-Pak cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive. For hand

mixing, expel the desired amount of adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix approximately

15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.

F or Duo-P ak Cartridges - 200/400 ml

Directions for Use: While holding cartridge in an upright position, remov e insert from

Duo-Pak cartridge by unscrewing plastic nut. Detach metal remov al disc from insert to

free plastic nut for nozzle attachment. Clear orifices if necessary. Attach mixing nozzle

and secure with plastic nut. Place cartridge into EPX Applicator. Dispense a small

quantity of adhesi v e to assure both components are dispensing equally. Apply adhesive

to clean surfaces, join parts, secure until set up (20 minutes @ 75°F [24°C]). Lea ve

nozzle attached to store. Replace nozzle after storage.

F or Bulk Containers

Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the proportions specified in the Typical Uncured

Properties section. Mix approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.

4. For maximum bond strength apply adhesive e venly to both surfaces to be joined.

5. Application to the substrates should be make within 5 minutes. Lar ger quantities

and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time.

6. Join the adhesi v e coated surf aces and allow to cure at 60°F (16°C) or abov e until

completely firm. Heat, up to 200°F (93°C), will speed curing. These products will

fully cure in 24-48 hours @ 75°F (24°C).

7. K eep parts from mo ving during cure. Contact pressure is necessary. Maximum shear

strength is obtained with a 3-5 mil bond line.

8. Excess uncured adhesi v e can be cleaned up with k etone type solvents.*

*Note: When using solvents, e xtinguish all ignition sources and follow the

manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

Adhesive Co v erage: A 0.005 in. thick bondline will typically yield a cov erage of

320 sq. ft./gallon.

Surface Preparation For optimum strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release

agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely remo v ed. However , the

amount of surface preparation directly depends on the required bond strength and the

environmental aging resistance desired by the user.

The follo wing cleaning methods are suggested for common surf aces:

Steel:

1. W ipe free of dust with oil-free solv ent such as acetone or isoprop yl alcohol.*

2. Sandblast or abrade using clean fine grit abrasi ves.

3. W ipe again with solv ent to remove loose particles.

4. If a primer is used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation.

Aluminum:

1. Vapor Degrease: Perchlorethylene condensing v apors for 5-10 minutes.

2. Alkaline Degrease: Oakite 164 solution (9-11 oz./gallon water) at 190°F ± 10°F

(88°C ± 5°C) for 10-20 minutes. Rinse immediately in large quantities of cold

running water.

3. Acid Etch: Place panels in the following solution for 10 minutes at 150°F ± 5°F

(66°C ± 2°C).

Sodium Dichromate 4.1 - 4.9 oz./gallon

Sulfuric Acid, 66°Be 38.5 - 41.5 oz./gallon

2024-T3 aluminum (dissolved) 0.2 oz./gallon minimum

Tap Water as needed to balance

4. Rinse: Rinse panels in clear running tap water.

5. Dry: Air dry 15 minutes and force dry 10 minutes at 150°F ± 10°F (66°C ± 5°C).

6. If primer is to be used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation.

Plastics/Rubber:

1. W ipe with isoprop yl alcohol.*

2. Abrade using fine grit abrasi ves.

3. Wipe with isoprop yl alcohol.*

*Note: When using solvents, e xtinguish all ignition sources and follow the

manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

A pplication Equipment

Suggestions For small or intermittent applications the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EPX™ applicator is

a convenient method of application.

For larger applications these adhesiv es may be applied by use of flow equipment.

Two-part meter/mixing/dispensing equipment is a vailable for intermittent or

production line use. These systems may be desirable because of their v ariable shot

size and flo w rate characteristics and are adaptable to man y applications.

Note: The following product performance data was obtained in the 3M laboratory

under the conditions specified. The following data shows typical r esults obtained

with 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesives DP-100 and DP-100 NS when applied

to properly prepared substrates, cured for 7 days at 73°F (23°C) under 2 psi cure

pressure, and tested according to the test methods indicated.

The follo wing technical information and data should be considered r epresentative

or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.

A. Overlap Shear

Overlap shear (OLS) strengths were measured on 1 in. wide 1/2 in. o verlap

specimens. These bonds were made indi vidually using 1 in. x 4 in. pieces of

substrate except for aluminum. Two panels 0.063 in. thick, 4 in. x 7 in. of 2024 T-3

clad aluminum were bonded and cut into 1 in. wide samples after 24 hours. The

thickness of the bond line was 0.005 - 0.008 in. All strengths were measured at

73°F (23°C) except where noted. (Tests per ASTM D 1002-72.)

The separation rate of the testing jaws w as 0.1 in. per minute for metals, 2 in.

per minute for plastics and 20 in. per minute for rubbers. The thickness of the

substrates were: steel, 0.060 in., other metals, 0.05-0.064 in.; rubbers, 0.125 in.;

plastics, 0.125 in.

B. T-peel

T-peel strengths were measured on 1 in. wide bonds at 73°F (23°C). The testing

jaw separation rate w as 20 inches per minute. The substrates were 0.032 in. thick.

(Tests per ASTM D 1876-61T.)

C. Cure Cycle

With the exception of Rate of Strength Build-Up Tests, all bonds were cured

7 days at 73°F (23°C)/50% RH before testing or subjected to further conditioning

or environmental aging.
