Installation

Surface The moulded part and cable jacket should be thoroughly degreased using a suitable solvent e.g. Isopropanol

preparation following the handling instructions supplied by the solvent supplier. After degreasing, the surfaces

should be carefully abraded using a 100 grit abrasive cloth. Dust and other debris from abrasion should be wiped

away with a dry tissue. Connectors or adaptors should only be degreased and not abraded.

Mixing S1005 S1005 adhesive is supplied in two parts A

and B. Part A, the epoxy, is pale yellow and

Part B, the polyamide hardener, is amber in

colour. Care should be taken not to interchange

the bottle caps. Measure out one Part A and

two Parts B by volume, or two Parts A and

three Parts B by weight, taking care that only

clean containers are used. Mix the two

components thoroughly; any air stirred into

the mixture will be eliminated during the

shrinking process. After mixing, apply thin

uniform layer of adhesive to the substrates.

Mixing S1006 S1006 is supplied with the epoxy resin and

the hardener pre-weighed in two sachets

separated by a dividing rail. To mix, slide off

the dividing rail and knead the contents until a

homogenous translucent pale yellow colour is

obtained. After mixing, carefully cut open one

corner of the bi-pack. Apply a thin, uniform

layer of adhesive to the substrates. For best

results adhesive mixed in the dual packs

should be squeezed into a separate disposable

dish and mixed with a spatula before

application to substrates.

Heating Apply heat to the heat-shrinkable tubing / moulded part (refer to the Code of Practice No. 605 for full instructions)

and when fully recovered, remove any excess adhesive using Isopropanol or similar solvent.

Handling For normal handling purposes, the adhesive will be sufficiently cured after 24 hours at room temperature.

However, cure cycles above 60o

C are recommended as these result in great bond strengths and the joint should

not be severely flexed until one of the following cycles has been completed.

■ 4 hours at 60o

C ■ 1 hour at 95o

C ■ 24 minutes at 120o

Pot life Once mixed S1005/S1006 has a pot life of up to 2 hours depending on the ambient temperatures.

Shelf life In excess of 12 months, when stored in the original unopened packaging at or below 23o

C.
