TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE

Under normal conditions, the atmospheric moisture initiates the
curing process. Although full functional strength is developed
in a relatively short time, curing continues for at least 24 hours
before full chemical/solvent resistance is developed.

Cure Speed vs. Substrate

The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The table
below shows the fixture time achieved on different materials
at 22 °C / 50 % relative humidity. This is defined as the time to
develop a shear strength of 0.1 N/mm².

Fixture Time, seconds:

Steel (degreased) 30 to 60
Aluminum 40 to 80
Zinc dichromate 30 to 90
Neoprene <10
Rubber, nitrile <10
ABS 20 to 50
PVC 30 to 90
Polycarbonate 30 to 90
Phenolic 10 to 40

Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap

The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Thin bond
lines result in high cure speeds, increasing the bond gap will
decrease the rate of cure.

Cure Speed vs. Humidity

The rate of cure will depend on the ambient relative humidity.
The following graph shows the tensile strength developed with
time on Buna N rubber at different levels of humidity.

Cure Speed vs. Activator

Where cure speed is unacceptably long due to large gaps,
applying activator to the surface will improve cure speed.
However, this can reduce ultimate strength of the bond and
therefore testing is recommended to confirm effect.
