Epoxy Adhesive

Description
Dexter Hysol 1C-LV is a lower viscosity version of EPK 1C modified for use in cartridges.  Hysol 1C-LV is a general purpose adhesive and sealant that bonds, seals and repairs a wide variety of materials.  Fully cured Hysol 1C-LV bonds offer superior thermal shock resistance, mechanical, electrical and impact resistant properties and low permeability to gases and vapors.  The cured adhesive has good dimensional stability and resistance to water, weather, oxygen, and ozone, most petroleum products, mild acids and alkalis and many other chemicals.

Recommended Substrates:   Metals, wood, most plastics, fiberglass, ceramic.

Application
Mixing - Cartridges:  Place cartridge in proper dispenser.  To begin using new cartridge, remove cap and dispense a small amount of adhesive, making sure both Part A and B are extruding.  Attach nozzle and dispense approximately 1-2" before dispensing on to the part to be bonded.  Partially used cartridges should be stored with the mixing nozzle attached.  To reuse, remove and discard the old nozzle, attach new nozzle, and begin dispensing.

Application:  Bonding surfaces should be clean and dry. For optimum surface preparation, consult Dexter's Bulletin  Preparing the Surface for Adhesive Bonding.  Once the adhesive is applied, the bonded parts should be held in contact until the part has developed handling strength.  It is not necessary to clamp the parts unless movement during cure is likely.

Cure:  Complete cure is obtained after 3 days at room temperature.  After 24 hours, approximately 90% of full cure properties are attained.  When in a bonded joint, Hysol 1C-LV will achieve handling strength in 4-6 hours at 77°F (note: this can very with different bond configurations).  Hysol 1C-LV can also be cured with heat such as one hour at 180°F (82°C).

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