3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP105 Instruction Manual

1. ആമുഖം

The 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP105 is a highly flexible, fast-setting, two-part epoxy adhesive designed to cure clear, resulting in invisible bond lines. This product is formulated to provide strong, permanent bonds even when subjected to vibration and impact, maintaining high shear and peel strength. Its flexibility when cured makes it suitable for bonding dissimilar surfaces. This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of this adhesive.

3. ഉൽപ്പന്ന സവിശേഷതകൾ

• Extremely flexible adhesive formula provides strong, permanent bonds even under vibration and impact.
• Maintains high shear and peel strength.
• Flexible when cured, making it suitable for bonding dissimilar surfaces.
• 5-minute work life with handling strength achieved in approximately 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Versatile bonder for metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, and composites.

4. സജ്ജീകരണവും തയ്യാറെടുപ്പും

1. ഉപരിതല തയ്യാറാക്കൽ: Ensure all bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, paint, or other contaminants. Abrading surfaces can improve adhesion for certain substrates.
2. ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ ശേഖരിക്കുക: Have all necessary tools ready, including a compatible dispensing gun (if using a Duo-Pak cartridge), mixing nozzles, safety gloves, and eye protection.
3. വെൻ്റിലേഷൻ: Work in a well-ventilated area or use local exhaust ventilation to minimize exposure to vapors.
4. താപനില: For optimal performance, ensure the adhesive and substrates are at room temperature (20-25°C / 68-77°F) before use.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

1. Load Cartridge: Insert the Duo-Pak cartridge into the appropriate 3M Scotch-Weld EPX applicator gun.
2. Purge Adhesive: Before attaching a mixing nozzle, dispense a small amount of adhesive (approximately a bead 1-2 inches long) to ensure both parts are flowing evenly and to clear any air pockets. Wipe off the purged material.
3. മിക്സിംഗ് നോസൽ ഘടിപ്പിക്കുക: Securely attach a 3M Scotch-Weld EPX mixing nozzle to the cartridge.
4. Dispense and Apply: Dispense the mixed adhesive directly onto one of the prepared bonding surfaces. The mixing nozzle ensures proper ratio and thorough mixing of the two components.
5. ഭാഗങ്ങൾ കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കുക: Join the parts to be bonded immediately after applying the adhesive, within the 5-minute work life. Apply sufficient pressure to ensure good contact between the surfaces and the adhesive.
6. ക്യൂറിംഗ്: Allow the bonded assembly to remain undisturbed during the curing process. Handling strength is typically achieved in approximately 20 minutes at room temperature. Full cure time may vary depending on temperature and bond line thickness.

6. പരിപാലനം

• സംഭരണം: Store unused adhesive cartridges in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Recommended storage temperature is 18-27°C (65-80°F).
• Cleanup (Uncured Adhesive): Clean tools and uncured adhesive immediately after use with an appropriate solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol or a commercial adhesive remover, before the adhesive cures.
• Cleanup (Cured Adhesive): Cured adhesive is difficult to remove and may require mechanical abrasion or specialized chemical removers. Always test removers on an inconspicuous area first.

7. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

This section addresses common issues. If you encounter problems not listed here, please refer to the 3M website or contact 3M technical support.

• മോശം അഡീഷൻ:
  • Ensure surfaces were properly cleaned and prepared. Contaminants (oil, grease, dust) can prevent proper bonding.
  • Verify correct mixing. If not using a static mixer, ensure thorough manual mixing of both components.
  • Check adhesive shelf life. Expired adhesive may not cure properly.
• Slow Cure Time:
  • Lower temperatures will extend cure times. Ensure adhesive and substrates are at recommended room temperature.
  • Verify correct mixing ratio. Improper mixing can lead to incomplete curing.
• Adhesive Not Dispensing Evenly:
  • Ensure the cartridge is properly seated in the dispensing gun.
  • Check for blockages in the nozzle or cartridge outlets.
  • Purge a small amount of adhesive before attaching the mixing nozzle to ensure both components are flowing.
