How to Apply

N/A

Clean the surfaces to be bonded and then apply Aron Alpha. Be sure to apply Aron Alpha to only one of the surfaces to be bonded, preferably the smaller surface, the surface on which Aron Alpha set time is longer, or the surface looking upward.

Common error in applying Aron Alpha is to apply an excessive quantity of Aron Alpha or to apply a too small quantity of Aron Alpha in a wide thin film. In the former case, it is waste of Aron Alpha as well as damage to the appearance of the bonded materials. Also this may briny about chlorosis or solvent cracks. In the latter case, Aron Alpha monomer may harden before the actual bonding starts and this will reduce the bond strength to a great extent. This is particularly the case with rubber materials.

Therefore, see that the nozzle of Aron Alpha container is in touch with the surface to be bonded so that you can apply an optimum quantity of Aron Alpha from the container, and immediately after that mate the two surfaces and let Aron Alpha monomer spread between the two surfaces. It is not necessary to have the monomer spread by rubbing motion.

Aron Alpha monomer, if kept in the form of a mound on the surface, does not harden for 5 to 10 minutes and retains a practically sufficient bond strength.

Optimum quantity of Aron Alpha: With Aron Alpha bonding, the thinner the film of Aron Alpha monomer on the surface to be bonded, the greater is the resultant bond strength.

An excessive quantity of Aron Alpha never helps increase the bond strength. On the contrary, it may bring about chlorosis, solvent cracks, or erosion by Aron Alpha monomer of the surface to be bonded.

On the other hand, a too scarce quantity of Aron Alpha will also produce an unsatisfactory bond strength, hence defective products.

Test results indicate that with Aron Alpha the optimum quantity to be applied at one time is 0.004 - 0.006 g/cm² or 0.03 - 0.05 mm in terms of film thickness.

On the basis of the value of 5 mg/cm², you can obtain standard bond strengths as shown in Table 1.

Also the optimum quantity applied can be a measure of production control at your plant. That is, from the predetermined bond area of the material to be bonded, you can figure out in advance how many products or parts can' bonded with, for example, an Aron Alpha 20 gram bottle and with the figure thus obtained you can maintain a quantified control of Aron Alpha bonding operation, minimizing the bonding cost and eliminating defective end products.

Precaution

N/A

When in contact with Skin

Additional Information

Additional Information

 N/A

Aron Alpha 400X Series is suitable for vibrating areas such as motors and bearings. Featured characteristics are heat resistance up to + 250 °F and impact resistance. The slow curing speed affords operator time to adjust and align parts but still cures in a reasonable time for instant adhesive technology.

Warning

N/A

  • May have an irritating odor, Aron Alpha might irritate eyes, nose and throat. Please maintain proper ventilation it is used in large amounts or for a long period of time. Please wear protective glasses and/or hood shield.
  • In case of absorbing into cloth, Aron Alpha will rapidly polymerize and result in heating. During operation, avoid wearing gloves made of absorbable materials, instead use solvent proof polyethylene gloves.
  • ARON ALPHA is a flammable liquid. Use in a well ventilated area, and keep away from fire.
