LOCTITE® EA E-40HT™

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.

• For high strength structural bonds, remove surface contaminants such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants.
• Use gloves to minimize skin contact. DO NOT use solvents for cleaning hands.
• Dual Cartridges: To begin using a new cartridge, remove cartridge cap and dispense a small amount of adhesive, making sure both parts A&B are extruding. Attach nozzle and dispense approximately 25 to 50mm, before applying onto part to be bonded.
• Partially used cartridges can be stored with the mixing nozzle attached.
• To reuse, remove and discard old nozzle, attach the new nozzle, dispense approximately 25 to 50mm, before applying onto part to be bonded.
• Hand Mixing: Combine Part A & Part B in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly. Be sure to scrape both the sides and bottom of mixing container.
• Mix for approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained. Heat build-up during or after mixing is normal.
• Do not mix quantities greater than 4kg as excessive exotherm or heat build up will develop.
• Mixing smaller amounts will minimize heat build-up
• Bulk Containers: Normally material is dispensed through volumetric metered mixing equipment, attached to static mix nozzles. It may also be mixed by weight or volume as described above.
• For maximum bond strength apply adhesive evenly to both surfaces to be joined.
• Application to the substrates should be made within 40 minutes.
• Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time.
• Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure. Higher temperatures will speed up curing.
• Keep assembled parts from moving during cure. The bond should be allowed to develop full strength before subjecting to any service load.
• Excessive uncured adhesive can be cleaned up with ketone type solvents.
