Permabond® QFS16 accelerates cyanoacrylate adhesive cure rate to provide a shorter set time. It can be used in a variety of applications but is particularly suited for porous parts, poorly mated parts, wire tacking applications and applications where stress cracking of plastic could be an issue. It can also be used to cure excess adhesive “fillets”.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Contains no ozone depleting agent
- Rapid setting on closely mated parts
- Faster cure through gaps
- Enables cyanoacrylates to bond to porous surfaces
- Reduces stress cracking on plastic parts
- No discolouration of part surfaces
- Reduces frosting or fogging of the adhesive
- Allows cyanoacrylates to cure on strongly passivated metals, aged PVC or acidic surfaces such as wood
