3 Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives PR5 * PR40 * PR100 * PR600 * PR600B * PR1500 * PR Gel Technical Data March, 2010 Product Description 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives are designed to give exceptional performance on difficult-to-bond plastic and rubber substrates. These adhesives may be bonded to like substrates or in combination with metal or composite substrates. Superior performance is achieved on materials such as heavily plasticized PVC, EPDM, ABS, Nylon, Santoprene(R), and Viton(R). Specific Features * 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR5 is a very low viscosity, high-speed bonding cyanoacrylate formulated for plastics and rubbers. It is recommended for use on assemblies with very close-fitting parts and smooth, even surfaces. It can be used to wick into bonding gaps of assembled parts. * 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR40 is a low viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive which bonds close-fitting plastic or rubber parts quickly and with high strength. * 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR100 (formerly SB04 or SB14) is a general purpose, low viscosity bonder for rubber or plastic surfaces. It has been tested and passed the requirements of Commercial Item Description A-A-3097, Type II, Class 2 (formerly MIL-A-46050C). * 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR600 is a medium viscosity cyanoacrylate with some gap-filling capability. It will bond many common substrates including plastics and rubbers. It has been tested and passed the requirements of Commercial Item Description A-A-3097, Type II, Class 3 (formerly MIL-A-46050C). * 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR600B is a black version of 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR600. * 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR1500 (formerly SB16) is a high viscosity cyanoacrylate that can be used on plastic or rubber parts that do not fit well together. It has excellent gap-filling characteristics and will not wick into unwanted areas. It has been tested and passed the requirements of Commercial Item Description A-A-3097, Type II, Class 3 (formerly MIL-A-46050C). * 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR Gel (formerly PR54) is a fast curing, very high viscosity, gap-filling cyanoacrylate. Its gel formulation is suitable for bonding poorly mating components and for porous substrates and can be used on vertical surfaces as it will not drip or slump. 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives PR5 * PR40 * PR100 * PR600 * PR600B * PR1500 * PR Gel Typical Uncured Physical Properties Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes. 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives PR5 PR40 PR100 PR600 PR600B PR1500 PR Gel Color Clear Clear Clear Clear Black Clear Clear Base Ethyl Ethyl Hybrid Ethyl Hybrid Ethyl Hybrid Ethyl Hybrid Ethyl Hybrid Ethyl Hybrid Appearance Liquid Liquid Liquid Liquid Liquid Liquid Gel Specific Gravity (g/ml) 1.05 1.06 1.06 1.07 1.07 1.08 1.10 Viscosity (cps) 2 - 61 34 - 441 80 - 1201 510 6604 510 6604 1,275 1,6504 50,000 90,0002 7,000 20,0003 Time to Handling Strength (sec) 1 - 10 3 - 20 10 - 30 4 - 25 4 - 25 20 - 100 3 - 60 24 24 24 24 24 24 24 Full Cure Time (hr) 1 ISO 3104/3105.

However, the amount of surface preparation depends on the required bond strength and the environmental aging resistance desired by the user. Typical quick surface preparation would include wiping with a clean solvent (such as isopropyl alcohol*), abrading the surface with a clean fine abrasive, and then wiping again with a clean solvent to remove loose particles. Directions for Use 1. Ensure that parts are clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. 2. A instant adhesive activator may be required if there are bonding gaps or porous substrate surfaces, if substrates are low surface energy plastics (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene) or if substrates have acidic surfaces (e.g., paper, leather). 3. Bond speed is typically very fast so ensure that parts are properly aligned before dispensing. 4. Product is normally hand applied from the bottle. Apply sparingly to one surface and press parts firmly together until handling strength is achieved. As a general rule, as little cyanoacrylate as possible should be used. Over application will result in slower cure speed and lower bond strength. Cured Bond Characteristics 1. Full bond strength will typically be achieved within a 24 hour cure time. 2. Low humidity or low temperature conditions will slow down the cure rate. 3. After curing, 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive bonds are suitable for use up to about 180F (82C). At 180F (82C) the bonds will be approximately 70% of the strength at room temperature and at 212F (100C) about 50% of full strength. 4. Cyanoacrylate bond resistance to most oils and solvents is excellent. Long term humidity, moisture, or water immersion may affect the strength of a cured cyanoacrylate bond depending on the substrates and the bond gap. Testing is recommended to evaluate the effect. *Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow the manufacturer's precautions and directions for use. Storage For short term storage (<30 days), keep adhesive in a cool (60F to 80F [16C to 27C]), dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly covered and free of moisture. Refrigeration (40F [4C]) gives optimum long term storage stability. Shelf Life 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives can be expected to have a shelf life of one year from the date of shipment from 3M when stored under refrigerated conditions. -3- 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives PR5 * PR40 * PR100 * PR600 * PR600B * PR1500 * PR Gel Precautionary Information Refer to Product Label and Material Safety Data Sheet for health and safety information before using this product.
