What is Nelco N5000-30/32 BT PCB ?

The N5000-30/32 BT is a high-speed, low hold time nitrocellulose epoxy package. It is necessary for
medium to heavy-duty bonding applications. The N5000-30/32 BT utilizes a light-cured, no mixing essential
synthetic resin. Therefore, it allows the package to be quickly and easily dispensed and applied in an even
coat by hand or with any standard glue gun.

After curing, the N5000-30/32 BT is fully cured and exhibits excellent adhesion to various substrates. It
includes plastics, rubber, ceramics, and wood. We can achieve a standard hand gluing application at room
temperature without hot or cold temperatures. When using the N5000-30/32 BT, we must use a compatible
adhesive dispenser system. So, we can dispense this package through a Scapa Glue Gun with a standard 7/16
orifice. Any gun nozzle that provides a steady application of 120 mils of adhesive per minute will work. For
heavier applications, we recommend the Nelco Z4000-30/32 Control Glue Gun with a 1″ orifice and nozzle
tip # NG18.

Adhere to the desired substrate using Nelco Z4000 Dispenser Gun with a nominal output of 90 mils/minute
or less and standard nozzle # NG18.

When using the N5000-30/32 BT, we must use a compatible adhesive dispenser system. As a result. this
package can dispense through a Scapa Glue Gun with a standard 7/16″ orifice. Any gun nozzle that provides
a steady application of 120 mils of adhesive per minute will work.

Properties

The N5000-30/32 BT is suitable for medium to heavy-duty bonding applications. Upon curing, the
N5000-30/32 BT consists of a light-cured, dry blend of a synthetic resin modified with self-setting black
epoxy. This epoxy acts as a catalyst. As a result, it allows the dispensing and application of the package in an
even coat by hand or with any standard glue gun.

Physical Properties

1. Water Absorption: The N5000-30/32 BT will absorb approximately 0.05% of its weight in water (at
room temperature).

1. Modulus of Elasticity: The room temperature modulus of elasticity of the cured N5000-30/32 BT is
3,300 ksi. So, this value is the sum of the moduli due to the resin and epoxy. Therefore, it is not
suitable for processing or bonding applications.
2. Poissons Ratio: The room temperature Poisson’s ratio of the cured N5000-30/32 BT is 0.21. So,
this value reflects the bonding material’s ability to “trap” motion. It reduces movement rates in an
applied joint without decreasing bond strength.
3. Shear Modulus: The room temperature shear modulus of the cured N5000-30/32 BT is
551370-1400 ksi. This value represents the bonding material’s ability to resist and maintain a
relatively uniform shear load on an applied joint without decreasing bond strength.
4. Peel Strength: The cured N5000-30/32 BT has a peel strength of 1.53 kN/m, measured in a tensile
testing machine at 300% of the applied shear force.

Thermal Properties

1. CTE, linear: The room temperature CTE (-40 °C to 125 °C) of the cured N5000-30/32 BT is 211.3
x 10 K-1 (using ASTM E8).
2. Glass Transition Temp, Tg: The room temperature Tg of the cured N5000-30/32 BT is 205 °C.
3. Decomposition Temperature: The room temperature decomposition temperature of the cured
N5000-30/32 BT is 344 °C.
4. Flammability, UL94: The room temperature UL94 flammability rating for the cured N5000-30/32
BT is non-flammable.

Chemical Properties

1. Biological Properties: The N5000-30/32 BT is a synthetic biologic material. It is not considered

hazardous in concentrations up to 50% by the weight of the dry blend.

Optical Properties

1. Density (g/cm): The room temperature density of the cured N5000-30/32 BT is 1.23 g/cm. The
resin has a density of 1.20 gm/cm, and the modification consists of a void space, causing a
calculated density value of 1.23 gm/cm. So, this value is constant for all volumes and modified for
any temperature changes.

Evaluation

The N5000-30/32 BT evaluation provides information regarding its actual performance compared to a
specified value or range. Of course, the best-known measure is the ultimate pull strength. Not all loads are
predictable. However, we require the tables of recommended load capabilities. In addition, it is necessary to
use a more appropriate adhesive for loads beyond these values.

Theoretical Joint Shear Strength:

Theoretical is a mathematically calculated value from a general formula. It does not always represent an
average of actual field performance. Therefore, it is available for comparison purposes only.

We should multiply the theoretical field shear strength by 0.67 to factor in the weight of the substrate. For
example, if you were gluing two 2″ x 12″ boards, you would multiply 100 lbs by 0.67 to get 67 lbs.

Theoretical Drill Penetration Strength:

Theoretical is a mathematically calculated value from a general formula. It does not always represent an
average of actual field performance. Therefore, it is available for comparison purposes only.

Adhesion Properties:

This data represents adhesion by surface tension only. Actual adhesion on the workpiece may vary.

To determine the adhesive in use, measure its dry weight by dividing by 270. Then, divide this number by
the N5000-30/32 BT’s dry weight to find how many grams of N5000-30/32 BT are in one gram of adhesive.

This data represents the adhesive’s peel strength under very small tensile forces. It depends on the value of
the peel strength published by the manufacturer. Therefore, actual performance over a large surface area may
vary.

The sustainability of adhesives is currently an area of intense research and development. The following
properties come from recognized standards, guidelines, and test methods. However, not all manufacturers
test using these protocols or publicly release this data for their adhesive products.

Rayming PCB & Assembly provides a general test method for determining the toxicity of a material.
Specifically, it looks at the potential effects on aquatic organisms after 24 hours of in vitro exposure to a
material and testing for genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and general systemic toxicity. As a result, the test can
evaluate materials before using them and requires testing of multiple exposures to the materials.
