Technical Details & Test Data

Typical Cured Information

Application of Adhesive
The resin/hardener mix is applied with a spatula to the pretreated and dry joint surfaces. A layer of adhesive 0.002 to 0.004-inches (0.05 to 0.10-mm) thick will normally impart the greatest lap shear strength to a joint.
The joint components should be assembled and clamped as soon as the adhesive has been applied. Even contact throughout suffices to ensure proper cure.

Standard Test Specimens
Unless otherwise stated, the figures given below were all determined by testing standard specimens made up by lap-jointing 4-inch x 1-inch x 0.06-inch (10-cm x 2.5-cm x 1.5-mm) strips of aluminum. The joint area was 0.5 x 1 inch (12.5 mm x 2.5 cm) in each case.
