Rotate stock on a “fist in- first out" basis. Directions for Use iClean Up Place the cartridge into the 3M EPX Applicator and clip, into position. Remove the resealable cap. Expel a small quantity of adhesive and ensure both ‘components flow freely. Attach correct mixer nozzle (this should have 20 or more elements). Disponse the adhosive as required, When finished either leave the nozio in place and store, or remove the nozzle, wipe clean the tip, and replace cap. To ro-start after storage remove the old nozzle with cured adhesive and refit 2 new nozzie, or remove the cap and fit a new nazzle, ‘Surface Preparatior Tho dogroe of surface preparation depends on the bond strength required and the environment likely to be encountered by the bonded structure. For most plastics solvent wiping with 3M VHB. surface cleaner, followed by abrasion with 3M Scotchorita 7447, followed by a further solvent wipe tunil lean, will give good performance (except for acetal, polyethylene and polypropylene and some other low surface energy materials). This also applies to ponder coat paints and other stoved paint systems, ‘The same surface preparation will also give ‘good adhesion to metal surfaces. The objective is to remove loosely attached surface films such as cls, waxes, dusts, mill-scale, loose paints and all other surface contaminants in addition to enhancing mechanical adhesion. Grit- blasting using a clean, fine gfit also offers excellant adhesion on many metallic substrates, Where humid environments are lkaly to be encountered by metallic substrates we recommend additional priming with 3M Scotch- Weld 3901. Alternatively, chemical conversion coating techniques combined with priming can offer the best durability Clean-Up: Excess uncured adhesive can be removed with the following solvents: 3M VHB Surface Cleaner {mild alcohol based cleaner) 3M Scotch-Grip Solvent No2. (Ketone blend) 3M Industrial Cleaner (Aerosol).Date: March 1996 EPX Epoxy Adhesive DP460 Health & Safety Refer to product label and Material Safety Data Sheet for health and safety Information information before using the product.
