Weicon Aluminium Minute Adhesive
Weicon has developed a special adhesive for aluminium and other light metals – Weicon Aluminium Minute Adhesive.
Aluminium Minute Adhesive is an odourless, two-component epoxy adhesive filled with aluminium. It has a short pot life of four to five minutes and cures fast at room temperature and practically without shrinkage. After curing, the adhesive can be machined (filing, drilling, milling). Aluminium Minute Adhesive is gap-filling and non-dripping (thixotropic) and shows very high tensile, impact and peel strength.
Special adhesive for light metals
The adhesive is particularly suitable for bonding aluminium and other light metals with and among each other. It can be used for filling cracks and holes on aluminium housings, for example, and for repairing light alloy wheels.
Processing
In order to achieve optimal adhesion, the bonding surfaces should be dry and free from grease or soilings. Scraping or sanding the surfaces before cleaning additionally improves adhesion.
The adhesive can be processed directly from the double cartridge. Reject the first centimetre of the dosed bead. Mix the product thoroughly. Apply adhesive mixture quickly to only one of the surfaces to be bonded. Join both surfaces immediately afterwards.
