New Fast-Curing, Flexible Adhesive For Structural Assembly
DANVERS, MA - Devcon's new Flex Welder FC (Fast Cure) is ideal for quickly and permanently assembling products subject to flexing, shock, vibration, or variations in temperature up to 250° F. Recommended for bonding nylon and its alloys, modified polyesters, epoxy composites, plastics, and even metals, this flexible methacrylate adhesive provides 100% tensile elongation, producing load-bearing bonds with excellent impact, peel, and shear resistance.
Flex Welder FC requires minimal surface preparation. Mixed as dispensed (in a 1:1 ratio) with manual or pneumatic dispensing guns, it is a creamy thixotropic gel that spreads easily and fills gaps up to 3/8" but will not run, drip, or sag on vertical or inverted surfaces. It has a working time of 3 minutes and a fixture time of 9 minutes at room temperature. It attains functional cure in just 1 hour and full cure in 24 hours. Its low-exotherm, low-shrinkage formulation minimizes distortion or "read through" when thin panels are bonded to structural supports. 100% solids, Flex Welder FC is available in 400 ml cartridges and 50 gallon kits.
