MAFIX Alkacryl acrylic glass adhesive, 200 ml

Professional, crystal-clear, fast-drying adhesive (1–10 minutes) for bonding acrylic glass and profiles in the advertising, plastics, furniture, automotive and electrical industries. Bonds acrylic glass (PMMA): rods, tubes, direction signs, etc.

Properties:

Base: PMMA (polymers in solvent)

Colour of the layer after curing: transparent

Viscosity (cone-plate; +25 °C, 1000 s): approx. 2400 mPa·s (thixotropic)

Density (EN 542 at +20 °C): 1.15 g/cm³

Open time (at 20 °C, 50% relative humidity, applied amount 150 µm – glass): approx. 30 s

Handling strength when bonding without adhesive streaks: approx. 2 to 4 min

Full curing time (at 20 °C, 50% relative humidity): approx. 24 h (~90%); evaporation of residual solvent can take up to 8 weeks

Minimum application temperature: from +5 °C

Flash point: −19 °C

Auto-ignition temperature: +465 °C

Directions for use:

Before bonding, the surfaces to be joined must be clean and free of dust, grease, moisture and other contaminants. Apply the adhesive to one side only, directly from the tube, using a brush on the surface to be bonded. Join the parts within 30 seconds and press them together until handling strength is reached. The bond reaches its load-bearing capacity after 16 hours; full curing depends on conditions such as temperature, humidity, etc. and can take up to 8 weeks.

The amount of adhesive should be chosen so that, given the thickness of the material, the adhesive cannot penetrate into the material. When bonding transparent panels, the bonded surfaces will turn cloudy.

Open time and full curing can only be determined accurately by testing, as they are very strongly affected by the material, temperature, amount applied, air and material humidity, adhesive layer thickness, pressure and other factors.

Storage:

Store in the original packaging at +15 to +25 °C, away from direct sunlight. In unopened original packaging it can be stored for 12 months. The viscosity of the adhesive increases during storage.
