Devcon 5-Minute Epoxy Gel - Fast Setting Thixotropic (no-drip) Epoxy
Devcon 5-Minute Epoxy Gel - Fast Setting Thixotropic (no-drip) Epoxy Devcon 5-Minute Epoxy Gel is popular in industrial, professional, and Do-It-Yourself applications. P/N's: 14240 is the 25ml syringe, and 14265 is the 50ml cartridge It is a fast-curing, thixotropic, non-migrating adhesive designed for filling gaps and bonding rough or smooth surfaces. The disappearing blue coloring tells you when the product is thoroughly mixed and ready to apply. It’s a general-purpose adhesive/encapsulant which easily dispenses and mixes in seconds, dries in 15 minutes and reaches functional strength in 1 hour. Substitute and Similar Formulas:: Huntsman 2010-1 (thixotropic gel 5-minute) Maven EA 505 GEL KEY FEATURES: Bonds rigid durable substrates such as metals, glass, ceramics, concrete and wood in all combinations High tensile strength (2,500 psi) Good solvent resistance to gas, oil and other solvents Non-Sag (No-Drip) which makes it ideal for use on walls and vertical surfaces Excellent gap filling qualities without tremendous shrinkage Fast curing for bond tags on machinery and equipment Functional strength in 1 hour 100% reactive, no solvents Intended Uses: Bonds metals, fabrics, ceramics, glass, wood, and concrete (and in combinations) Aluminum, Brass, Cast Iron, Copper, Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel & Ferrites, Epoxies, PVC & Vinyls, Woods, Plywoods & Laminates, Particle Boards, Brick, Concrete, Ceramics Popular for filling voids and potting/filler compounds Excellent for bonding to walls and vertical surfaces, and for filling gaps and voids Physical Properties: Cured 7 days @ 75° F Adhesive Tensile Lap Shear[GBS] 2,500 psi @ 0.010" bondline Dielectric Strength 440 volts/mils Gap Fill Excellent Impact Resistance 6.5 ft.lb./in(2) Service Temperature -40°F to 200°F Shore Hardness 80 Shore D Solids by Volume 100 Specific Volume 23.7 in[3]/lb.

[28 gm @ 72°F] SurfacePreparation: Clean surface by solvent-wiping any deposits of heavy grease, oil, dirt, or other impurities. Surface can also be cleaned with industrial cleaning equipment such as vapor phase degreasers or hot aqueous baths. If working with metal, abrade or roughen the surface to significantly increase the microscopic bond area and increase the bond strength. Mixing Instructions: Proper homogenous mixing of resin and hardener is essential for the curing and development of stated strengths. ---- 25 ML DEV-TUBE 1. Squeeze material into a small container the size of an ashtray. 2. Using mixing stick included on Dev-tube handle, vigorously mix components for one (1) minute. 3. Immediately apply to substrate. 50 ML/400ML/490 ML CARTRIDGES 1. Attach cartridge to Mark V ™ [50ml] 400ml manual or pneumatic dispensing systems.2. Open tip. 3. Burp cartridge by squeezing out some material until both sides are uniform (ensures no air bubbles are present during mixing). 4. Attach mix nozzle to end of cartridge. 5. Apply to substrate. Application Instructions: 1. Apply mixed epoxy directly to one surface in an even film or as a bead. 2. Assemble with mating part within recommended working time. 3. Apply firm pressure between mating parts to minimize any gap and ensure good contact (a small fillet of epoxy should flow out the edges to display adequate gap fill.) For very large gaps: 1. Apply epoxy to both surfaces 2. Spread to cover entire area OR make a bead pattern to allow flow throughout the joint Let bonded assemblies stand for recommended functional cure time prior to handling. Chemical Resistance: Chemical resistance is calculated with a 7 day, room temp. cure (30 days immersion) @ 75°F) Acetic (Dilute) 10% Poor Acetone Poor Ammonia Poor CornOil Excellent CuttingOil Excellent Ethanol Poor Gasoline(Unleaded) Excellent Glycols/Antifreeze Fair Hydrochloric10% Poor Isopropanol Poor Kerosene Excellent MethylEthylKetone Poor MineralSpirits Excellent MotorOil Excellent SodiumHydroxide10% Poor Sulfuric10% Poor Precautions: Please refer to the appropriate material safety data sheet (MSDS) prior to using this product.
