Methacrylate Adhesive
Description
Dexter Hysol H3300 is a highly thixotropic, two component, room temperature curing, 1:1 mix ratio, methacrylate adhesive system.  H3300 is formulated to provide fixturing strength within 10 -15 minutes.  This adhesive forms resilient bonds and maintains its strength over a wide range of temperatures.  H3300 is suitable for bonding a variety of substrates with a minimum of surface preparation.

Recommended Substrates: PVC, polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, stainless steel and FRP

Features
Non-sagging gaps filled to .375 inch                       Superior impact and peel strength
Little or no surface preparation                               Offers excellent tolerance to off-ratio mixing
Rapid room temperature cure100% reactive           Excellent environmental resistance

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, H3300 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 H3300, 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 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 H3300 is flammable.  Keep containers tightly closed after use.  Keep away from heat, sparks, and open
flames.
