Acrylic adhesive MH196

for metalsingle-componentindustrial

Instant low pressure seal Replaces all sizes of formed gaskets Good high pressure resistance High temperature resistance Does not creep or shrink Description Permabond® MH196 is an anaerobic material designed for making “formed in situ” gaskets between metal surfaces. It is capable of replacing a wide range of conventional gaskets, thereby offering potential for reduced stock holdings. By allowing surface to surface contact, load transmission can be improved. As the product does not shrink, creep or relax after curing, no bolt re-tightening is required. It has excellent chemical and high temperature resistance or up to 200°C Surface Preparation Though the anaerobic adhesives will tolerate a slight degree of surface contamination, best results are obtained on clean, dry and grease free surfaces. The use of a suitable solvent-based cleaner (such as acetone or isopropanol) is recommended. In general, roughened surfaces (~25μm) give higher bond strengths than polished or ground surfaces. To reduce the curing time, especially on inactive surfaces (such as zinc, aluminium and stainless steel), the use of Permabond A905 or ASC10 can be considered. Directions for Use 1) Apply as a bead, by roller, silkscreen or stencil. Ensure all potential leak paths such as flange bolt holes are encircled. 2) Removal: use normal tools to lever the surfaces apart. 3) Ensure old adhesive is removed before reassembling the parts.
