Hysol ® H3000Methacrylate Adhesive
Description
Dexter Hysol H3000 is a general purpose, two component, room temperature curing, 1:1 mix ratio, methacrylate adhesive system. H3000 is formulated to yield high peel and shear strength. This adhesive forms resilient bonds and maintains its strength over a wide range of temperatures. H3000 is suitable for bonding a variety of substrates with a minimum of surface preparation.
Recommended Substrates: PVC, polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, stainless steel and FRP

Handling and Application
Mixing: It is highly recommended that either meter mix equipment or cartridges with static mix nozzles be used to properly ratio and dispense the adhesive. For hand mixing, combine Part A and Part B in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly. Once mixed, H3000 should achieve a uniform color. This is important! Heat buildup during and after mixing is normal. To reduce the likelihood of exothermic reaction or excessive heat buildup, mix less than 100 grams at a time. Mixing smaller amounts will minimize heat buildup.
Applying: Bonding surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of contamination. Extensive surface preparation is not required for H3000, and good bonds can be formed on most substrates after a solvent wipe. To assure maximum bond strength, surfaces must be mated within the adhesive's open time. Use enough material to completely fill the joint when parts are clamped.
Curing: Parts should remain undisturbed during the interval of time between the material's open time and fixture time. After the fixture time is achieved the material has reached handling strength. Temperature below 55°F will slow the cure; above 85°F will accelerate the cure rate.
Clean Up: It is important to clean up excess adhesive from the work area and application equipment before it cures. Denatured alcohol and many common industrial solvents are suitable for removing uncured adhesive. Hysol H3000 is flammable. Keep containers tightly closed after use. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Storage
Hysol adhesives should be stored in a cool, dry place when not used for a long period of time. The shelf life for H3000 is one year from date of manufacture when stored at 40oF and six months when stored at room temperature or 77oF. Exposure above room temperature will reduce shelf life.
