3M Panel Bonding Adhesive Twin Cart 200ml (08115)

3M Panel Bonding Adhesive (part number 08115) is a high-strength adhesive commonly used in automotive and industrial applications for bonding metal, plastic, and composite materials. Here’s a brief overview of its usage:

Features:

• Two-Part System: Comes in a twin cartridge with a base and a hardener.
• Fast Cure: Offers quick handling times, allowing for rapid assembly.
• Strong Bond: Designed to create durable and flexible bonds that withstand harsh conditions.

Usage Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Surface Cleaning: Ensure that surfaces are clean, dry, and free of contaminants (e.g., dirt, grease, and oil). Use an appropriate cleaner or solvent.
   • Surface Roughening: Lightly abrade the bonding surfaces with sandpaper to improve adhesion.

2. Mixing:

   • Cartridge Setup: Insert the cartridge into a suitable applicator gun.
   • Mixing Nozzle: Attach the static mixing nozzle to the cartridge to ensure the correct mixing ratio of adhesive and hardener.

3. Application:

   • Dispensing: Squeeze the trigger of the applicator gun to dispense the adhesive evenly onto one of the surfaces. Apply enough adhesive to ensure full coverage.
   • Assembly: Immediately bring the two surfaces together, ensuring proper alignment.

4. Curing:

   • Clamping: If necessary, clamp the bonded parts together for optimal results. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for clamping time.
   • Curing Time: Allow the adhesive to cure as per the instructions (typically a few hours for handling strength and up to 24 hours for full strength, depending on conditions).

5. Finishing:

   • Clean-up: Clean any excess adhesive immediately with a solvent before it cures. Once cured, it may require mechanical removal.

Safety Precautions:

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and goggles when handling adhesives.
• Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area to avoid inhalation of fumes.
