SOLVENTS THAT DISSOLVE E-6000
®
SERIES ADHESIVES
e following lists common solvents that dissolve E-6000® Series when hardened samples are immersed. e
dissolution with these solvents is not instantaneous and therefore does not preclude usage in all cases. Applications
where an occasional splash or brief exposure is expected may be acceptable. Test a small area before full use.
Gasoline Cyclohexane Perchloroethylene 1,1,1-Trichloroethane
Methylene chloride Chlorothane NU Chevron solvent 1100 Propyl acetate
Toluene
CHEMICALS THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON E-6000

SERIES ADHESIVES
E-6000 exhibits excellent resistance to water, dilute acids and dilute bases. in lms of e-6000 were immersed in
various chemicals for two weeks and exhibited weight gains of less than 2% and tensile strength loss of less than
10%. ese chemicals are listed below. All percentages are given by weight unless otherwise noted.
Wine (20% alcohol by volume) Beer (3.2% alcohol by volume) Acetic acid (5% and 10%)
Sulfuric acid (3% and 10%) Boric acid (3.1%) Oxalic acid (3.1%)
Lactic acid (3.8%) Distilled water Sodium chloride (10%)
Sodium carbonate (2.7%) Potassium hydroxide (3.4%) Ammonium hydroxide (3.4%)
Ammonium nitrate (50%) Nitric acid (10% and 20%) Milk (fresh, tested at 40°F)
Motor oil (30w) Hydraulic oil Antifreeze
Phosphoric acid (30% and 60% as P

DIRECTIONS FOR USE and APPLICATION NOTES
Always test a small area before full use. For tube: use point of cap to puncture neck of tube to ow product.
For 10.2 oz cartridges: clip nozzle tip and puncture cartridge inside nozzle to ow product.
Cartridge gun is required.
Step 1 Surface should be clean, dry and free of dirt. Roughen surface for optimum adhesion.
Step 2 Apply E-6000® directly to each surface to be bonded or repaired. Bring surfaces together.
Step 3 For maximum strength bond, allow to dry for 24 to 72 hours.
Step 4 Clean uncured adhesive with acetone or naphtha sparingly. e adhesive will ball up and brush o.
Cured material may be removed by cutting or scraping.
Step 5 Store unused E-6000® adhesive in a dry area at room temperature.

• Please read all directions before using. Use in well-ventilated area only.
• Product can be used between 50 °F (10 °C) and 90 °F (32 °C). Dry time decreases when used between
70 °F (21 °C) and 90 °F (32 °C).
• E-6000® hardens by solvent evaporation.
• If using E-6000® to adhere articles to fabric, DO NOT DRY CLEAN FABRIC.
• E-6000® is not recommended for any items that come into contact with food, drinking water or animals.
• E-6000® is not recommended for use on Styrofoam™, polystyrene, polyethylene or polypropylene
plastics, aquariums or refrigeration units.
• Paint-over for added UV resistance or use UV-6800®.
