Mix Ratio Mix Ratio The amount of a constituent divided by the total amount of all other constituents in a mixture | 1:1 | ||||
Specific Gravity Specific Gravity Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless. | 1.22 | ||||

Degradation temperature Degradation temperature The temperature at which the materials start losing their properties | 325 °C | ||||
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding. The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs. | 40 - 49 °C | ||||
Specific Heat Capacity Specific Heat Capacity Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. The specific heat capacity of a material is a physical property. It is also an example of an extensive property since its value is proportional to the size of the system being examined. | 5.424 J/(g⋅°C) | ||||

Directions for Use
- The adhesive should be applied on clean surface that is free of dirt, grease, or mold release. In the case that it is coated with such, a simple solvent wipe will suffice.
- Mix thoroughly by weight (1:1 mix ratio) prior to use.
- After mixing the two parts, the adhesive should be used within its pot life. Large quantity mixing is not recommended for this product.
- For maximum bonding strength, apply the adhesive evenly to both surfaces that will be joined together.
