Chemical Set Adhesives

Used throughout industry in a variety of applications including assembling, sealing, insulating and cementing of ceramics, porcelain, metal and glass.

Cement No.315 is an off white, porcelain-like cement that is widely used throughout industry in a variety of applications including assembling, sealing, insulating and cementing of ceramics, porcelain, metal and glass.

Physical properties were determined on specimens prepared under laboratory conditions using applicable ASTM procedures. Actual field conditions may vary and yield different results; therefore, data are subject to reasonable deviation. Data should not be used for specification purposes.

MIXING – No.315 is a two-part, chemical-setting cement consisting of a powder and liquid which are mixed together as used. No.315 Powder should be thoroughly remixed before using. Weigh out No.315 Powder and No.31 Liquid at a ratio of 100:50. Place liquid in a clean mixing container and gradually add powder while mixing. Continue mixing until a smooth, uniform consistency is obtained. Mixing may be done with a slow speed mixer or by hand with a spatula.

No.315 may be mixed to a thinner consistency by regulating the amount of liquid used; however, the use of excess liquid will reduce mechanical strength, increase shrinkage and delay set time. Failure of the cement to adhere indicates that setting has begun – discard cement. Do not attempt to re-temper by adding more liquid.

APPLICATION – Surfaces to receive the cement should be clean and free of grease and dirt. Highly porous substrates can be dampened slightly with No.31 liquid. Priming in this manner will assist the natural anti-cavitational property of the cement and may not be necessary in all applications. Cement No.315 may be placed by brushing, pouring or other automatic dispensing methods. Since the cement sets by a chemical process that occurs when water reacts with the No.315 Powder, there are no maximum thickness restrictions for application.

No.315 hardens with an internal chemical setting action in 18-24 hours at ambient temperatures. Working time of No.315, when powder and liquid are blended together is approximately 8 hours at 21°C (70°F). If it is desired to accelerate the cure, oven drying at 82°C (180°F) can be used. Avoid steaming while drying. If high humidity resistance is required and it is impractical to fire cement, a moisture resistant lacquer or silicone coating should be applied to the exposed surfaces.

All equipment should be cleaned with soap and water before No.315 cures. If removal is required after cure, consult Glassbond or recommendations
