Plexus® Cleaner Conditioner PC-120 is a chemical cleaner and conditioner designed to improve the long-term bond durability of Plexus adhesives when used for adhering aluminum and stainless steel assemblies.
Fast drying at ambient temperatures, parts can be bonded 1 to 3 minutes after the conditioner is applied.
Typically, water and salt can attack bonded metal structures at the adhesive interface, potentially reducing the overall strength. The active ingredients in this cleaner allow the adhesive to produce a bond which can resist long term exposure to salt water.
Plexus PC-120 acts as a cleaner to remove contaminants on the metal surface. In many circumstances, the use of PC-120 can replace routine solvent cleaning.
Application can be performed by brushing or wiping. Allow the PC-120 to dry slightly before wiping away. Only a thin film of PC-120 is needed. The cleaner/conditioner contains a red dye. As long as a red tint is slightly visible on the metal surfaces, sufficient conditioner has been applied. Once the conditioner is dry, the parts are ready to bond.
Plexus PC-120 is available in 944-mL containers. Coverage is about 250 square feet per 500 ml.
