Product catalog summary
Product Description
Hernon Quantum 136 is an advanced, odorless, non-frosting, single-component cyanoacrylate adhesive. It cures rapidly at room temperature when pressed into a thin film between parts, initiated by surface moisture. It achieves handling strength in seconds and full strength in hours, bonding various materials like metals, plastics, elastomers, ceramics, leather, cork, and paper. It is not recommended for long-term glass-to-glass bonding.

Typical Applications
Quantum 136 is used for bonding and fixturing applications such as rubber bumpers, filter caps, fasteners, speaker components, and more. It is suitable for permanent locking, shock mounts, and tamper-proofing.

Product Benefits
- Odorless and non-frosting
- Rapid cure at room temperature
- Bonds a wide range of materials
- Easy to use with no mixing required

Typical Properties
Uncured: Colorless to pale yellow liquid with a viscosity of 50-120 cP and specific gravity of 1.06.
Cured: Thermal expansion coefficient of 80×10-6 K-1, thermal conductivity of 0.1 W/(m·K), and gap fill of 0.102 mm.

Electrical Properties
Dielectric strength of 25 kV/mm, dielectric constant of 2.65-2.75, dissipation factor of <0.02, and volume/surface resistivity of 10×1015 Ω·cm.

Curing Performance
Cure speed varies with substrate and bond gap. Fixture times range from <5 seconds for neoprene to 60-180 seconds for zinc dichromate. Cure speed is affected by humidity and can be accelerated with an accelerator, though this may reduce bond strength.

Cured Performance
Shear strength varies by substrate, with steel achieving 13.8-22.1 N/mm². Tensile strength for Buna-N is ≥4.5 N/mm² in 10 seconds and 4.8-15.2 N/mm² after 24 hours.

Environmental Resistance
Quantum 136 maintains strength under various temperatures and chemical exposures, with varying resistance to motor oil, gasoline, ethanol, isopropanol, and Freon TA.

General Information
Not suitable for pure oxygen or strong oxidizing materials. For safe handling, consult the MSDS. Best performance is achieved with clean, grease-free surfaces and thin bond gaps. Store under refrigeration to extend shelf life.

Dispensing Equipment
Hernon offers semi and fully automated dispensing equipment.

The presence of surface moisture commences the cure of the adhesive. Quantum 136 develops handling strength within seconds and full functional strength in a few hours. Quantum 136 can bond a wide variety of surfaces including: metals, thermoplastics, elastomers, ceramics, leather, cork, and paper. Notwithstanding the superior bonding capability of Quantum 136, it is NOT recommended for long-term glass to glass bonding applications. Typical Applications Bonding Rubber bumpers Permanent locking of plastic Fasteners Speaker components Shock mounts Gears to shaft Wiper blades Acrylic windows Name plates Catheters Honing stones Security collars O-rings insulation pads Fixturing Filter caps Jumper wires Heat sinks Gaskets Golf club parts Tennis racquet parts P.C. boards Wire tacking Potting Transistors Tamper proofing Adjustable components Fiberglass molds Product Benefits • Odorless, non-frosting cyanoacrylate. • Rapid Cure - forms a strong bond at room temperature in less than a minute with contact pressure. • Surfaces - will bond almost any combination of similar or dissimilar materials. • Easy Use - single component feature, eliminates any mixing.
