Description

Insa-Lute Adhesive Cement No. P1 is specified throughout the automotive, appliance and assembly industries for bonding, insulating and encapsulating applications. No. P1 is a thermally conductive and electrically insulating cement that bonds well to metal, ceramics and glass. Upon curing, the cement resembles a durable ceramic and will resist high temperatures. No. P1 is also used to replace sealing wax, bolts, nuts, screws and mica because of its ability to readily adhere to practically any clean, non-plastic surface. Working properties of the cement exhibit a virtually unlimited pot life prior to exposure to air. This feature makes No. P1 ideal for automated applications using dispensing equipment.

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.

Application / Instructions

MIXING – No. P1 should be mixed at a ratio of 80% powder : 20% water, by weight. Mixing may be done with a slow speed mixer or by hand with a spatula. If necessary, Thinning Liquid No. 14 can be used where the cement is required in a more fluid consistency. Minimal amounts of extra liquid should be used as excess liquid will reduce mechanical strength, increase shrinkage and delay set time.

APPLICATION – Surfaces to receive the cement should be clean and free of grease and dirt. Porous substrates should be dampened slightly with Thinning Liquid No. 14 prior to application. Insa-Lute Adhesive Cement No. P1 is air setting and should be used in thin applications. Avoid applying in a thickness more than ¼ inch. If necessary, multiple coats may be applied to build thickness. Placement of the cement may be done by brushing, dipping or spraying.

Setting / Curing

No. P1 will cure by air drying at room temperature. Drying time depends on the consistency and thickness of the application. Normally 18-24 hours drying at ambient temperature is sufficient.

When the cement has limited exposure to air, or if it is desired to accelerate the cure, low temperature oven drying at 82°C (180oF) can be used. Avoid steaming while drying. If the cement will be exposed to elevated temperatures that may approach or briefly exceed the recommended service limits, contact Glassbond for appropriate drying schedule recommendations. A heat cure is also suggested where humidity resistance is required. In addition, a moisture-resistant lacquer or silicone coating may be applied to the exposed surfaces.

Cleaning

All equipment should be cleaned with soap and water before No. P1 cures. If removal is required after cure, consult Glassbond.

Packaging

This material is supplied in various types and sizes of containers. Please contact Glassbond Sales for further details.

Shelf Life

No. P1 has a shelf life of twelve (12) months when stored in unopened, tightly sealed containers in a dry location at 21°C (70°F). If there is doubt as to the quality of the material, consult Glassbond.

Caution

Consult the Material Safety Data Information and container label caution statements for any hazards in handling this material.
