Q3-3636

DESCRIPTION
Dow Corning® Q3-3636 adhesive is a
2-component, thixotropic adhesive
with fast cure at room temperature.
The product has been developed to
show good, durable adhesion to a
range of plastic, metal and glass
substrates, and reduced weight loss
(fogging) at high operating
temperatures.

HOW TO USE
Mixing
The adhesive is designed to be used
with Black and Grey Catalyst in a mix
ratio of 100 parts Base: 13 parts
Catalyst by weight, (or 5.9 parts Base
to 1 part Catalyst by volume). Special
Black, should be mixed in a ratio of
100 parts base to 14 parts Catalyst by
weight. (or 5.6 parts Base to 1 part
Catalyst by volume). Suitable
meter/mix equipment should be
equipped with gear or piston metering
pumps for base and catalyst, and a
static mixer. Mixing via dynamic
mixers is currently not recommended.

Curing Conditions
The adhesive cures at room
temperature and develops adhesion
rapidly to metals, glass and plastic
substrates. Adhesion is normally good
to most substrates (see Note) without
the use of a primer, or of surface
activation methods. If desired,
adhesion may be enhanced via use of
flame or plasma treatment of the
surfaces to be bonded. The cure and
adhesion strength can also be
accelerated by the application of
moderate heat, for example 6-10
minutes at 50-65°C.

Note
Adhesion to low energy surfaces like
polypropylene can be achieved via use
of plasma or flame treatment.

Humid Resistance
Dow Corning® Q3-3636 Adhesive
shows good adhesive resistance to hot
and humid conditions, for example 6
days in water at 60°C.
