Application Equipment
For small or intermittent applications, the 3M™ EPX™ Applicator is a convenient method of application.
For larger applications, these products may be applied by use of ow equipment.
Two-part meter/mixing/dispensing equipment is available for intermittent or production line use. These systems may be desirable because of their variable shot size
and ow rate characteristics and are adaptable to many applications.

Surface Preparation
For high strength structural bonds, paint, oxide lms, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However, the
amount of surface preparation directly depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by user.
The following cleaning methods are suggested for common surfaces:
Steel:
1. Wipe free of dust with oil-free solvent such as acetone, isopropyl or alcohol solvents.*
2. Sandblast or abrade using clean ne grit abrasives.
3. Wipe again with solvent to remove loose particles.
4. If a primer is used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation.
Aluminum:
1. Alkaline Degrease: Oakite 164 solution (9-11 oz./gallon water) at 190°F ± 10°F (88°C ± 5°C) for 10-20 minutes. Rinse immediately in large quantities of cold running
water.
2. Acid Etch: Place panels in the following solution for 10 minutes at 150°F ± 5°F (66°C ± 2°C).
Sodium Dichromate 4.1 - 4.9 oz./gallon
Sulfuric Acid, 66°Be 38.5 - 41.5 oz./gallon 2024-T3 aluminum (dissolved) 0.2 oz./gallon minimum
Tap water as needed to balance
3. Rinse: Rinse panels in clear running tap water.
4. Dry: Air dry 15 minutes; force dry 10 minutes at 190°F ± 10°F (88°C ± 5°C).
5. If primer is to be used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation.
Note: Read and follow component supplier’s environmental health and safety information prior to preparing this etch solution.
Plastics/Rubber:
1. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol.*
2. Abrade using ne grit abrasives.
3. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol.*
Glass:
1. Solvent wipe surface using acetone or MEK.*
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
