TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
1. DESCRIPTION
BD8110 is a two-part structural methacrylate adhesive specially designed for the bonding of various
metals. Apart from this it can be used in bonding, plastics and composites. BD8110 provides high
bond strength to the above reference surfaces with generally no preparation effort. It provides high
strength with excellent toughness and fatigue resistance. BD8110 is highly recommended for coated
galvanized such as G60, G70, G90 and also other zinc coated metals, Aluminum, FRP, ABS and
Polyesters. It is available with and without spacers/glass beads.

6. HANDLING AND APPLICATION:
BD81110 resin (Part A) and activator (Part B) are flammable. Contents include Methacrylate ester
and acids. Keep containers closed after use. Wear gloves and safety glasses to avoid skin and eye
contact. Wash with soap and water after skin contact. In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15
minutes and get medical attention. Harmful if swallowed. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep
away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Do not smoke cigarettes or anything else while handling or
near the product. Refer to the BD8110 Safety Data Sheet for more complete safety instruction. To
assure maximum bond strength, surfaces must be mated together within the specified working time,
and all clamps affixed within that time. Use sufficient material to ensure that the joint is completely
filled when parts are mated and clamped. Avoid over clamping parts, which may cause a dry joint or
a joint starved of adhesive. All adhesive application, part positioning, fixturing, and clamping should
occur before the working time of the adhesive has expired. After the indicated working time, parts
must remain undisturbed until the fixture time is completed. Components bonded, adhesive, and
shop temperature can have a significant effect on the work and fixture time of the adhesive.
Application of BD8110 adhesive at temperatures between 65 F and 85 F (18 C and 30 C) will ensure
proper cure. Temperatures below 65 F (18 C) will slow cure and fixture speed. BD8110 adhesives
will still react, but will take longer. Temperatures above 85 F (18 C and 30 C) will increase cure and
fixture speeds, and there s a risk that the adhesive will be hardened or too thick to bond materials.
The viscosities of BD8110 adhesives are affected by temperature.
NOTE: Because of the curing features of BD8110 adhesives, large amounts of heat are generated
when large masses of material are mixed at one time. The heat generated by the exotherm resulting
from mixing large amounts of adhesive can result in a boiling of the monomer in the adhesive (methyl
methacrylate), resulting in the release of trapped air, steam and volatile gasses. To prevent this, use
only enough material as needed for use within the working time for the product, and confine the gap
or spread out the material to no more than .50 inches.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
The shelf life of BD8110 is nine (9) months from the date of manufacture based upon continuous
storage at room temperature (77 F or 25 C). Storage of BD8110 adhesives in refrigerated
compartments will extend the shelf life even more. Do not store BD8110 adhesive or any other
adhesives in a refrigerator which has food or lunch products in them. Be sure to bring BD8110
adhesives to room temperature for 24 hours before use, otherwise longer cure and fixture times may
be expected. Long-term storage at temperatures above room temperature will shorten the shelf life of
BD8110 adhesives considerably. Storage at temperatures above 100 F or 38 C could shorten the
shelf life to less than one month. BD8110 adhesives contain no water, so freezing of the adhesive for
short periods is permissible, but is not encouraged.
