Methacrylate Adhesive
Description
Dexter Hysol H4100 is a non-sagging, two component, room temperature curing, 10:1 mix ratio, methacrylate adhesive system.  H4100 is formulated to provide handling strength within minutes.  Available in both tan and black, H4100 provides greater versatility when used in aesthetic bonding applications.  This adhesive forms resilient bonds and maintains its strength over a wide range of temperatures.  H4100 is suitable for bonding a variety of substrates with a minimum of surface preparation.

Recommended Substrates: PVC, polycarbonate, acrylic, aluminum, epoxy coated metal, ABS, stainless steel and FRP

Performance

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, H4100 should achieve a uniform color.  
This is important!  Heat buildup during and after mixing is normal.  To reduce the likelihood of
smaller amounts will minimize heat buildup.

Applying: Bonding surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of contamination.  Extensive surface
preparation is not required for H4100, 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 work area and application equipment
before it hardens.  Denatured alcohol and many common industrial solvents are suitable for removing
uncured adhesive.  Hysol H4100 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 H4100 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.
