TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Cure Speed vs. Substrate
The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The graph
below shows the breakaway strength developed with time on
M10 steel nuts and bolts compared to different materials and
tested according to ISO 10964.

Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap
The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Gaps in
threaded fasteners depend on thread type, quality and size.
The following graph shows the shear strength developed with
time on steel pins and collars at different controlled gaps and
tested according to ISO 10123.

Cure Speed vs. Temperature
The rate of cure will depend on the ambient temperature. The
graph below shows the breakaway strength developed with
time at different temperatures on M10 steel nuts and bolts and
tested according to ISO 10964.

Cure Speed vs. Activator
Where cure speed is unacceptably long, or large gaps are
present, applying activator to the surface will improve cure
speed. The graph below shows the breakaway strength
developed with time on M10 zinc dichromate plated steel nuts
and bolts using Activator 7649™ and tested according to ISO
10964. The use of Activator 7471™ is not recommended with
this product.
