Loctite Hysol 9340 High Temperature Epoxy Adhesive - 2.7 oz Tube Kit

Mixing: Hysol 9340 requires mixing Part A and Part B together just prior to the application. Complete mixing of the two components is necessary.

Application

Mixing:
Combine Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly. Continue to mix until all green and gray streaks are gone and mix is uniformly gray. This is important! Heat build-up during or after mixing is normal. Do not mix quantities greater than one pound as excessive exotherm or heat build-up will develop. Mixing smaller quantities will minimize the heat build-up.

Application:
Bonding surfaces should be clean and dry. The bonded parts should be held in contact until the adhesive is set. It is not necessary to maintain fixturing for the entire cure schedule but only until handling strength is achieved.

Cure:
Hysol 9340 can be cured by a variety of cure schedules to meet processing requirements. Hysol 9340 will achieve handling strength in 6-8 hours at room temperature (note: this can vary with different bond configurations and ambient temperatures). Full cure time at 77°F is 24 hours. Heat cures can be used to shorten this time. For instance, one hour at 180°F or 2 hours at 140°F is sufficient to fully cure the adhesive.

Clean Up:
It is important to remove excess adhesive from the work area and application equipment before it hardens. Many common solvents and citrus cleaners are suitable for removing uncured adhesive. Consult with your solvent supplier for information pertaining to the safe and proper use of solvents.

Storage:

Store product in unopened container in a cool dry location. Ideal conditions are within the range 8 to 21 degrees C (46 to 70 degrees F) and are recommended for long term storage. Exposure to higher temperatures (greater than 28 degrees C) for prolonged periods should be avoided as extended exposure to warm conditions can adversely affect product properties. For further specific shelf life information, contact your local Technical Service Center.
