Vibra-TITE 318 is a single component, rubber­toughened cyanoacrylate adhesive. No-odor and non­blooming characteristics make this product user friendly when vapor control is an issue. It is specially designed for applications needing higher peel strength.
Monomer (Liquid)

Curing Properties

Ambient surface moisture will initiate the hardening process. Handling strength is reached in a short period of time and varies depending on environmental conditions and substrates being bonded. Product will continue to cure for at least 24 hours before full strength and resistances are developed.

Curing Performance

The gap of the bond line will affect set speed. Smaller gaps tend to increase the speed. Activators can be applied to improve set speed but may also impair overall adhesive performance.

General Instructions

Surfaces to be bonded should be clean and dry. Dispense a drop or drops to one surface only. Apply only enough to leave a thin film layer after compression.
Press parts together and hold firmly for a few seconds. Good contact is essential. An adequate bond develops in less that one minute and maximum strength is attained in 24 hours. Wipe off excess adhesive from the top of the container and recap. Cyanoacrylate products if left uncapped may deteriorate by contamination from moisture in the air. Because Cyanoacrylate products cure by polymerization, whitening may appear on the surface of the container or the bonded materials. Should this happen, wipe surfaces well with acetone.
