Product properties
The key technical properties clearly listed in one place.
- Article number
- LIJ000912
-
Adhesive type describes the family of adhesive or sealant, such as epoxy adhesive, (methyl)methacrylate adhesive, polyurethane adhesive or polymer sealant. Its chemistry affects processing, curing, flexibility and adhesion. Products of the same type may still differ, so check the suitable substrates and application instructions.
- Methyl Methacrylaatlijm
-
Gap-filling capability describes how wide a gap or joint an adhesive or sealant can bridge, usually in millimetres (mm). The stated maximum is not necessarily the recommended adhesive layer thickness: a narrower joint may be needed to achieve good bond strength.
- Up to 4 mm
- Colour
- Beige
-
Open time is the period during which an applied adhesive, sealant or mortar can still be assembled, positioned or adjusted. It is usually given in minutes under specified conditions, often around 20 or 23 °C. Open time generally starts at application and may differ from the working time after mixing.
- 1-2 minutes (at 25 °C)
-
This property lists the substrates on which an adhesive, resin or coating can achieve strong adhesion according to the product information. The result also depends on surface preparation.
- Cleaning and degreasing: removes dirt, oil and other substances that interfere with bonding.
- Sanding or roughening: can improve adhesion when suitable for the substrate.
- Primer: required or recommended for some surfaces.
Materials such as PE, PP and PTFE are difficult to bond with many conventional adhesives and may need a specialist adhesive or pretreatment. If in doubt, test adhesion on a small area.
- Aluminium, Staal, Roestvast staal (RVS), Koolstof/Epoxy (CFRP), Glas/Epoxy (GRE), PVC, ABS, Polycarbonaat (PC)
-
The recommended application temperature range indicates the conditions under which the product can generally be applied and cured properly. Three temperatures matter:
- Air: the temperature in the workshop or outdoors.
- Substrate: the temperature of the surface being treated.
- Product: the temperature of the resin, adhesive or coating itself.
A cold substrate can cause condensation and affect adhesion. At higher temperatures, two-component products may react faster, reducing their working time. Check the dew point and follow the product instructions.
- -20-25 °C
-
Tensile strength is the maximum tensile stress a material can withstand during a tensile test before failure. It is usually expressed in MPa (megapascals) or N/mm² (newtons per square millimetre); 1 MPa = 1 N/mm². Under comparable test conditions, a higher value means greater resistance to tension. In composites, fibre orientation also affects the result.
- 40 MPa
