Harmonization Code : 3506.10.00.00 | Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1 kg
Main features
- 5-Second Steel Set Time
- Faster Cure Through Gaps
- Reduced Plastic Stress Cracking
Product Description
Permabond QFS16 is a colorless cyanoacrylate activator for shortening set time on closely mated parts, porous surfaces, gaps, and wire-tacking assemblies. It is applied to one component by wiping, spraying, or dipping and allowed to evaporate before adhesive is placed on the untreated surface. With a 100 cP ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate at 23 deg C, typical set time is 5 seconds on gap-free steel and 40-60 seconds across a 5 mil gap. The formulation also reduces stress cracking, surface discoloration, and adhesive frosting on supported plastic parts.
Key features
- Rapid Steel Set: Provides a typical 5-second set on gap-free steel under stated conditions.
- Gap and Porous-Surface Cure: Accelerates cyanoacrylate cure through gaps and on porous materials.
- Reduced Plastic Surface Effects: Helps limit stress cracking, discoloration, and frosting on supported plastics.
Applications
Applications include porous or poorly mated parts, gap bonding, wire tacking, excess-fillet cure, and supported plastic assemblies.
