Product catalog summary

Product Description
3M™ Adhesion Promoter AP596 and Primers P590, P591, P592, P595, and P597 are low viscosity adhesion promoters designed for use with 3M™ Polyurethane and Hybrid Adhesives/Sealants. They enhance bonding on materials like glass, acrylic, and polycarbonate.

Technical Data
The document provides typical technical data, including viscosity, solids percentage, VOC content, and active ingredients for each primer. For example, AP596 is clear with a water-thin viscosity and contains silane/ethanol.

Performance Data
Adhesion strength tests show significant improvement when using primers. For instance, acrylic with P591 showed a max load at failure of 474 psi compared to 107 psi without primer.

Primer Selection Chart
Recommendations for primer use based on substrate type are provided. For example, P595 is best for tinted glass, while P591 is recommended for polycarbonate.

Directions for Use
Surface preparation involves cleaning and abrading substrates. Primers should be applied with a wool dauber, and surfaces must be dry and free from contaminants. Specific drying times are noted for each primer.

Application Equipment
Wool daubers are recommended for primer application to avoid voids in the coating.

Storage and Shelf Life
Products should be stored below 77°F (25°C) in original containers. AP596 has a shelf life of 12 months, while primers must be used within 7 days after opening.

Technical Information and Warranty
3M provides technical information based on reliable tests but does not guarantee accuracy. Users are responsible for determining product suitability. A limited warranty is offered, with replacement or refund as remedies.

ISO Certification
The product is manufactured under a 3M quality system registered to ISO 9001:2008 standards.
