H.B. Fuller EV Bond 420

H.B. Fuller EV Bond 420 is a high-performance, two-part acrylate adhesive engineered to bond a wide range of plastics, metals, and composite assemblies. It offers outstanding bond strength, is extremely durable, and has excellent impact and weathering properties. EV Bond 420 greatly increases the reliability of finished assemblies, its ability to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, and its resistance to a wide range of chemicals and environmental conditions. EV Bond 420GB allows control of the adhesive gap to a diameter of 0.25mm (0.01").

Application Details

The product is best used at temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Temperatures below 65°F will slow the cure speed of the material and viscosities will be higher. Temperatures above 80°F will cause the material to cure faster and viscosities will be lower. For consistent dispensing maintain temperature in the above mentioned range. For optimum bond strength and to ensure maximum performance in the finished assembly, mate parts together within the specified work time of the adhesive. Make sure the bond joint has uniform coverage and that a sufficient amount of adhesive is in the bond area. It is important to have the adhesive applied, parts aligned and positioned, within the established work times for the product. To ensure maximum performance in the finished assembly, parts should remain undisturbed until the fixture time is reached.

Clean Up

Clean up is best before the adhesive has cured. Cleaners containing NMP (N-methyl pyrolidone) or Citrus terpene provide the best results. On cured adhesive repeat use may be required.
