Product Description: Apollo 2000 is a single-component, low-viscosity
cyanoacrylate adhesive known for its fast-setting properties, ideal for bonding preassembled parts.
Physical Properties: The adhesive is a colorless liquid with a viscosity of 3 cP at 68°F, a specific gravity of 1.06, and a flash point of 185°F. It has a shelf life of one year when stored unopened at 40°F.
Military Specifications: Complies with Mil-A-46050C, Type II, Class 1.
Curing Properties: Curing begins with ambient surface moisture, reaching handling strength quickly. Full cure and resistance develop over 24 hours. Setting times vary by substrate, with steel taking 5-10 seconds and PVC 3-5 seconds.
Curing Performance: Smaller bond line gaps increase set speed. Activators can enhance speed but may reduce adhesive performance. The cured polymer is a colorless solid with a service temperature range of -65°F to 200°F and a tensile strength of 3200 psi for steel/steel bonds.
Performance of Cured Materials: Tensile shear strength varies by substrate, with blasted steel ranging from 19 to 25 N/mm² and PVC over 6 N/mm².
Temperature Resistance: Shear strength on steel is retained across various temperatures, with detailed performance data available.
Chemical Resistance: The adhesive retains 100% strength in motor oil, gasoline, trichloroethane, and Freon TA, but 0% in 10% NaOH, 10% HCl, and water after a 12-month soak.
General Instructions: Surfaces should be clean and dry. Apply a thin film and press parts together for a few seconds. Maximum strength is achieved in 24 hours. Excess adhesive should be wiped off, and containers recapped to prevent moisture contamination.
Storage: Store unopened in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigeration can extend shelf life, but the product should be at room temperature before use.
