Hot Strength Directions for use

Tested at temperature 1. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and
100 free from grease.
2. To ensure a fast and reliable cure, Activator 7387™
% Strength @ 23 °C

should be applied to one of the bond surfaces and the

75 adhesive to the other surface. Parts should be assembled
within 15 minutes.
3. The recommended bondline gap is 0.1 mm. Where bond
50
gaps are large (up to a maximum of 0.5 mm), or faster
cure speed is required, Activator 7387™ should be
25 applied to both surfaces. Parts should be assembled
immediately (within 1 minute).
4. Excess adhesive can be wiped away with organic solvent.
0 5. Bond should be held clamped until adhesive has fixtured.
