Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. Wiping with solvent such as 3M™ No. 3 or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)* will aid in removing oil and dirt.. Plastic surfaces may be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.* 2. Application Temperature: For best results, the temperature of the adhesive and the surfaces being bonded should be at least 65°F (18°C). 3. Application: Spray, brush, roll or knife coat a smooth, uniform coat of adhesive to the least porous surface. Thickness of the adhesive will depend upon the surfaces being bonded and stress requirements and should be determined by the user. Porous or rough surfaces generally require more adhesive than smooth surfaces. 4. Drying Time: This will depend on the adhesive film thickness and drying temperature and should be determined by the user. Infrared heat may be used to speed up the drying process, if necessary. Generally, when the adhesive film has changed from an opaque, milky appearance to a clear or transparent and odorless state, drying can be considered complete. In order to maintain long term pressure sensitivity, the dry adhesive film must be kept free of dust or other contaminants through the use of a protective release liner. 5. Bonding: Bond surfaces together using firm pressure. A 3-inch wide (maximum) rubber roller (J-roller) is recommended. For maximum bond performance, the use of a nip-roll or rotary press is preferred. Bonding while one or both surfaces are warm will also help improve bond results. 6. Cleanup: Liquid adhesive can be removed from tools and equipment by flushing with large amounts of water. The addition of liquid soap and warm water will aid in cleanup. Dried adhesive may be removed with a solvent such as 3M™ ScotchWeld™ Solvent No. 3 or methyl ethyl ketone.* *Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use. Application Equipment Information Note: Appropriate application equipment can enhance adhesive performance. We suggest the following application equipment for the user’s evaluation in light of the user’s particular purpose and method of application. 1. Pumping: Use a 2:1 ratio divorced design stainless steel pump with PTFE packings. Because these products contain water, pumping equipment should be stainless steel for maximum durability. Wetted parts of chrome or nickel should also be suitable. 2. Spray: Spray Gun DeVilbiss JGV Binks 2001SS or No. 95 Air Cap. Fluid Tip Air Pressure Approx.

Hoses: All material hoses should be nylon lined. Do not use PVA hoses. Do not use fluid hoses previously used with solvent based adhesive since residual solvent will cause the water dispersion to coagulate. New fluid hoses should be installed when changing from a solvent to a water-based adhesive. 4. Brushes and Rollers: Brushes and rollers designed for latex paints are suggested. Typical Physical Properties Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes. Adhesive was tested in 180° (angle) peel, overlap shear, and dead load strength by first applying about a 6 mil (wet thickness) coating of adhesive to a primed polyester film. After drying, bonds were made to various substrates. Test results after 48 hrs. at 73°F (23°C) were as follows: Substrate Peel Strength (piw) Overlap Shear (psi) 2.8 4.4 3.1 2.7 2.3 4.2 1.5 1.9 2.9 3.4 3.6 3.3 3.0 1.6 1.5 44 48 48 40 45 48 33 27 47 46 44 50 44 13 16 Glass Cold Rolled Steel Galvanized Steel 2024 T-3 Bare Aluminum Clad Aluminum Stainless Steel High Density Polyethylene Polypropylene High Impact Polystyrene PVC ABS Plastic Polycarbonate Acrylic Neoprene Rubber EPDM Rubber Dead Load Shear: The adhesive, knife coated on polyester film as above, was used to make 1 in. x 1/2 in. bonds to 2024-T3 bare aluminum. Various weights were then hung on the portion of the film extending below the bond area and the time required for the bond to fail was measured. The results were as follows: Test Temperature Time to Failure at a Load of: 2 psi 5 psi 10 psi 73°F (23°C) 24 + hrs. 24 + hrs. 6 hrs. 120°F (49°C) 24 + hrs. 2 hrs. 15 min. 160°F (71°C) 4 hrs. 11 min. 3 min. -3- 3M™ Fastbond™ Pressure Sensitive Adhesives 4224-NF • Clear • Blue Storage Store product at 60-80°F (16-27°C) for maximum storage life.
