Product catalog summary
Introduction
Spabond 540 is a modified ambient curing epoxy adhesive suitable for bonding polyester or epoxy laminates. It comes in two variants: Spabond 540 for larger gaps up to 30mm and Spabond 540LV for bondlines less than 20mm. It is ideal for medium to large production boats, offering high toughness and excellent gap-filling properties.
Product Information
The adhesive is available in drums, pails, and cartridges, with third-party certification by Lloyds Register. Proper storage in a warm, dry place away from sunlight ensures a shelf life of two years.
Instructions for Use
Optimal use is at temperatures between 15-25°C and humidity below 70%. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and dust-free. Thorough mixing is required for uniform color, and the adhesive should be applied to both surfaces for optimal bonding.
Health and Safety
Use protective gloves, clothing, and eye protection to avoid contact. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent inhalation of solvent vapors.
Mixing and Handling
Available hardeners include Fast, Standard, Slow, and Extra Slow, each with specific mixing ratios and pot-life durations. Working and clamp times vary by hardener.
Adhesive Performance
The adhesive shows strong mechanical properties, including cleavage and lap shear strength on steel, polyester, and epoxy substrates. Cured properties are consistent across hardeners.
Notice and Warranty Disclaimer
Advice is given in good faith but only warranted in writing. Customers should conduct their own testing for suitability, as specifications and prices may change without notice.
Testing Recommendations
Customers are encouraged to make test panels under final process conditions and conduct appropriate testing to ensure material suitability.
