M2 Metal Optimized Methacrylate Adhesive

M2 Metal Optimized Methacrylate Adhesive

  • For metals, plastics & composites

  • 10 minute worklife

M2 Methacrylate Adhesive is similar to our M1 Methacrylate Adhesive, but formulated especially for metals. M2 has the same impact, chemical, and weather resistant properties as M1, while having a longer worklife for greater assembly time. M2 is well suited for outdoor and industrial applications, and will also bond well with thermoplastics and composite materials. This makes it ideal for assemblies where bonding metal with plastic is required, such as outdoor signs, boat building, and automobile assembly and repair. M2 is a two-component adhesive (1:1 mix ratio) that comes in easy-to-use cartridges.
Cartridges require an applicator. One single-use nozzle is included with each cartridge. Additional nozzles are available: 50ml nozzles, 250ml nozzles.

Application instructions

Directions for 50ml. Cartridge:
Wear gloves. Place cartridge into applicator and secure. Remove end cap by turning counter-clockwise. Dispense and discard small amount of adhesive to verify free flow in even ration. Attach mixing nozzle. Roughen and clean surfaces to be joined (if possible, use sandpaper and acetone or isopropyl alcohol). Dispense and apply adhesive to clean surfaces, then join surfaces and secure in place until adhesive sets (about 20 min. @ 75°F). Replace end cap after use. Store unused adhesive at 40°F or below.

Directions for 250ml. Cartridge:
Wear gloves. Hold cartridge in upright position and unscrew plastic nut. Remove plug insert and make sure openings are clear. Attach mixing nozzle and secure with plastic nut. Place cartridge into applicator (works with standard caulking gun and rod-driven pneumatic caulking tools) and secure. Dispense a small amount of adhesive to make sure both parts are mixing properly in nozzle. For consistent results, abrade and clean surfaces to be joined (if possible, use sandpaper and acetone or isopropyl alcohol). Dispense and apply adhesive to clean surfaces, then join surfaces and secure in place until adhesive sets (about 20 min. @ 75°F). Store unused adhesive at 40°F or below.
