METHACRYLATE ADHESIVE
DESCRIPTION:
METHACRYLATE ADHESIVE
WHAT THE MP SERIES BONDS:
MP55420 is a high performance two part methacrylate adhesive engineered
to bond a wide range of plastics, metals, and composite assemblies. It offers
outstanding bond strength, is extremely durable, with excellent impact and
weathering properties. MP55420 greatly increases the reliability of finished
assemblies with exceptional flexibility, it s ability to with stand extreme
temperature fluctuation and thermal cycling, and resistance to a wide range of
chemicals and environmental conditions.

PACKAGING:
The MP 55420 Series is conveniently packaged in 490 ml, 380 ml, and 50 ml cartridges, pail, and
drum kits. Special packaging is available upon request.
EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE:
The product is best used at temperatures between 65
0
F and 80
0
F. Temperatures below 65
0
F
will slow the cure speed of the material and viscosities will be higher. Temperatures above 80
0
F
will cause the material to cure faster and viscosities will be lower. For consistent dispensing
maintain temperature in the above mentioned range.
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE:
The shelf life of the MP55400 Series for most products is one year from date of shipment
(check with ASI). Shelf life is based on the products being stored properly at temperatures
between 55
0
F and 75
0
F. Exposure to temperatures above 75
0
F will reduce the shelf life of
these materials. These products should NEVER BE FROZEN.
PRECAUTIONS:
ASI s MP55400 Series products are flammable. Keep away from heat, spark, and open
flames.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. THE PRODUCT IS FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
Keep containers closed when not in use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Harmful if
swallowed. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for complete safety information.
HANDLING AND CLEAN-UP:
For optimum bond strength and to insure maximum performance in the finished assembly
mate parts together within the specified work time of the adhesive. Make sure the bond
joint has uniform coverage and that a sufficient amount of adhesive is in the bond area. It
is important to have the adhesive applied, parts aligned and positioned, within the
established work times for the product. To ensure maximum performance in the finished
assembly parts should remain undisturbed until the fixture time is reached.
Clean up is best before the adhesive has cured. Cleaners containing NMP (N-methyl
pyrolidone) or Citrus terpene provide the best results. On cured adhesive repeat use may
be required.
