Product Description
Vibra-Tite PB422 is a high performance two part
methacrylate adhesive engineered to bond a wide
range of plastics, metals, and composite assemblies.
It offers outstanding bond strength, is extremely
durable, with excellent impact and weathering
properties. Vibra-Tite PB422 greatly increases the
reliability of finished assemblies with exceptional
flexibility, its ability to with stand extreme
temperature fluctuation and thermal cycling, and
resistance to a wide range of chemicals and
environmental conditions.

Application and Handling Guidelines
The product is best used at temperatures between 65
°F and 80 °F. Temperatures below 65 °F will slow
the cure speed of the material and viscosities will be
higher. Temperatures above 80 °F will cause the
material to cure faster and viscosities will be lower.
For consistent dispensing maintain temperature in the
above mentioned range.
For optimum bond strength and to insure maximum
performance in the finished assembly, join parts
together within the specified work time of the
adhesive. Make sure the bond joint has uniform
coverage and that a sufficient amount of adhesive is
in the bond area. It is important to have the adhesive
applied, parts aligned and positioned, within the
established work times for the product. To ensure
maximum performance in the finished assembly parts
should remain undisturbed until the fixture time is
reached.
Clean up is best before the adhesive has cured.
Cleaners containing NMP (N-methyl pyrolidone) or
Citrus terpene provide the best results. On cured
adhesive repeat use may be required.
