Technical Data Sheet March 2019
Directions for Use:
Aerosol Can: Preparation: For best results, all surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, oil, loose
paint, wax or grease, etc. Working Temperature: The adhesive and surfaces to be bonded should be at 65 F (18 C) or above.
Hold can perpendicular 8 to 12 ; 180 mm to 250mm from the substrate to be sprayed. Typical woven fiberglass materials only
need 1 dry gram / square foot to hold up to 6 layers vertically. Overhead or more difficult materials may need an application to both
materials. More adhesive may be needed depending on number of layers, configuration and nature of materials. For example the
transfer mesh may need more adhesive to avoid edge curl. One Surface Bonding: Tack range 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
Two Surface Bonding: For more permanent or demanding applications spray both surfaces. Allow minimum 30 seconds drying.
Tack range 1 to 30 minutes.
Cylinder: Preparation: For best results, all surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, oil, loose paint,
wax or grease, etc. Working Temperature: The adhesive and surfaces to be bonded should be at 65 F (18 C) or above.
Connections: Attach larger end of hose to the spray applicator and use a wrench to tighten securely. With the applicator fully
locked against the trigger, attach the smaller hose end to cylinder valve. Use a wrench to tighten securely. Use only 3M standard
cylinder spray applicator. Recommended nozzle is 650050 for widest spray pattern. Alternatively, nozzle 2500250 for narrower
spray pattern. Hose lengths come in 6 , 12 & 25 . (see table below)
Application: Shake before use if cylinder has been inactive over one month. Slowly open the cylinder valve and inspect
connections for leakage. Fully open cylinder valve. Unscrew trigger stop 3-4 turns. Test spray pattern. Adjust trigger stop as
needed to vary output. Hold applicator 10 to12 inches from surfaces to be bonded. Keep applicator square to the surface. Move
applicator at steady speed. Best results obtained by applying even amount to the bonded area. 1 or 2 coats to one surface may be
needed depending on substrate texture or performance requirements. Alternatively, apply an application to both surfaces. Allow
the adhesive to dry until tacky without transfer to touch. Overhead or more difficult materials may need an application to both
materials. More adhesive may be needed depending on number of layers, configuration and nature of materials. For example, the
transfer mesh may need more adhesive to avoid edge curl.
One Surface Bonding: Tack range 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
Two Surface Bonding: For more permanent or demanding applications spray both surfaces. Allow minimum 30 seconds drying.
Tack range 1 to 30 minutes.
Shut Down: Tighten trigger stop to lock trigger. Close valve on cylinder. Replace nozzle. Do not disconnect hoses until pressure in
cylinder is completely depleted. Hose and applicator can be transferred to new cylinder.
Clean Up: Cylinder applicators, hoses, spray tips and excess adhesive can be cleaned with 3M Adhesive Remover.
Note: Extinguish ignition sources when handling solvents.
Application:
The color indicator adhesive is recommended when possible to minimize the amount of adhesive necessary. Only a slight
indication of green is needed to bond most materials. See photo for approximate appearance on fiberglass fabric:

Joint Design for
Structural Adhesives
Joint design Specific stress resistance is a major consideration.
Joints should be specifically designed for use with structural adhesives. This is largely a matter of common sense
and experience. Two basic factors should be the design guidelines. First, structural joints should be designed so
that all of the bonded area equally shares the load. Second, the joint configuration should be designed so that
basic stress is primarily in shear of tensile, with cleavage and peel minimized or eliminated. Finally, appropriate
joint thickness should be accounted for in the design (typically, 0.1-0.5mm depending on joint design and
stresses, temperature fluctuations during use, etc).
The following structural joints and their advantages/disadvantages illustrate some typical design alternatives. They
are not, of course, the limit of possible adhesive bonded joints.
Lap joints
are most common. They are most practical and applicable
in bonding thin materials.
The simple lap joint is off-set. This can result in cleavage and peel
stress under load when using thin materials.
The joggle lap joint gives more uniform stress distribution than
either the simple or tapered lap joint. The joint can be formed by
simple metal forming operations. The curing pressure is easily
applied.
A tapered single lap joint is more efficient than a simple lap joint.
The tapered edge allows bending of the joint edge under stress.
The double butt lap joint gives more uniform stress distribution in
the load-bearing area than the above joints. However, this type of
joint requires machining which is not always feasible with thinner
gauge metals.
Double scarf lap joints have better resistance to bending forces
than double butt joints. However, this type of joint also requires
machining.
Angle joints
give rise to either peel or cleavage stress depending on the
gauge metal. Typical approaches to the reduction of cleavage
are illustrated.
Butt joints
A straight butt joint has poor resistance to cleavage. The
following recessed butt joints are recommended: landed scarf
tongue and groove, conventional tongue and groove, and scarf
tongue and groove. Landed scarf tongue and groove joints act as
stops which can control adhesive line thickness. Tongue and
groove are self- aligning during assembly and act as a reservoir
for void filling type adhesives.

Joint Design for Structural Adhesives
Cylindrical Joints
The T-joint and overlap slip joint are typical for bonding cylindrical
parts such as tubing, bushings, and shafts. With adhesive bonding,
all available contact area contributes to carrying the load.
Adhesives also provide a joint with better appearance and
eliminate distortion caused by high welding temperatures.
Corner joints sheet metal
Corner joints can be assembled with adhesives by using simple
supplementary attachments. This permits joining and sealing in a
single operation. Typical designs are right angle butt joints, slip
joints and right angle support joints. These joints increase the
structure s rigidity. Void filling adhesives are most frequently used.
Use of a heat curing adhesive depends on the heat resistance of
the materials being bonded.
With this technique, thin gauge metals or sandwich panels can be
easily formed into boxes, cases, housings, vehicle bodies, metal
boat hulls, etc.
Corner joints Rigid members
Corner joints, as in storm doors or decorative frames, can be
adhesive bonded. End lap joints are the simplest design type
although they require machining. Adhesives requiring pressure
during cure may be utilized in such designs. Mortise and tenon
joints are excellent from a design standpoint but also require
machining. Mitered joint with spline is best if members are hollow
extrusions. In this case, a void filling adhesive is recommended.
Stiffener Joints
Deflection and flutter of thin metal sheets can be minimized with
adhesive bonded stiffeners. When such assemblies are flexed,
peel stresses are exerted on the adhesive. If the flanges on the
stiffening section can bend with the sheet, minimum peel stress
on the bond will result. Increasing sheet gauge or decreasing the
gauge of the stiffener flange will give equivalent results. Stiffening
members such as T-sections, hat sections and corrugated backing
can be used depending on desired rigidity.

Handling/Application Information
Directions for Use
Surface Preparation:
There are waxes, coatings, sealers, greases, oils and other contaminants used in the marine industry, making it very important to clean all surfaces to be bonded before
applying 3MTM Adhesive Sealant 5200. Recommended procedures include cleaning with 3MTM General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner* 08984. Abrading the surface with
180- to 200-grit abrasive before cleaning will enhance the bond strength.
Cut the plastic nozzle tip to the desired bead size. Puncture the seal in nozzle end of the cartridge and screw the plastic nozzle in place. Remove the bottom end seal of
cartridge and place the cartridge in a caulk gun dispenser. Apply 5200 to the seam or part to be bonded. Position parts and tool material to desired appearance. Tooling of
adhesive can be accomplished by using a tongue depressor. If a finger is used, rubber gloves are recommended. Remove excess with General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner
08984 or suitable solvent.
*When using solvents, use in a well ventilated area. Extinguish all sources of ignition in the work area and observe product directions for use and precautionary measures.
Refer to product label and MSDS for further precautions. Always pre-test solvent to ensure it is compatible with substrates.
Local and federal air quality regulations may regulate or prohibit the use of these products or surface preparation and cleanup materials. Consult local and federal air quality
regulations before using these products.
Note: Alcohol will interfere with the curing process and extra care must be taken when using alcohol as a cleaning solvent to prevent any contact with the sealant.
Primer:
Use of a primer is an extra step and cost and will depend on the final end use. Using primer can improve the corrosion resistance of certain metals as well as improve the
durability of the bond when exposed to high humidity conditions. Pre-testing for adhesion is suggested to determine if a primer is needed. Contact your 3M Technical
Service representative for primer recommendation and application advice.
Applications:
Page 8 of 10
Applications:
3MTM Adhesive Sealant 5200 is for permanent assembly of wood and fiberglass parts bonded together. If a non-permanent bond is desired, use 3MTM Marine Adhesive
Sealant 4200.
Typical bonding applications include:
– Fiberglass deck to fiberglass hull
– Wood to fiberglass
– Portholes
– Deck fittings
– Moldings
– Trunk joints
– Between struts and planking
– Stern joints
Typical sealing applications include:
– Some plastics (test before assembly)
– Glass
– Metals (priming may be required)
Limitations :
– Alcohol should not be used in preparation for bonding as it will interfere with the curing process, causing the adhesive to fail.
– Due to the decreased value in bond strength at elevated temperatures, use of this product is not recommended above 190 F (88 C).
– Do not apply at temperatures below 40 F (4 C) or on frost covered surfaces. Do not apply at surface temperatures above 100 F (38 C).
– Sealant should be used within 24 hours after inner seal is punctured, as product will start to cure in the cartridge and nozzle.
– At 90o F (32o C) and 90% relative humidity, bonds should be made within 15 minutes.
– Some one-part solvent-based Marine paints may not cure on top of cured 5200. It is strongly recommended to test all desired paints for suitability.
– 5200 has an elongation much greater than most paints. Most paints will not elongate to this extent before cracking or losing adhesion to the sealant. If the sealant is used
in an application where it will elongate or flex to a high degree, it is best not to paint.
– 5200 is not recommended for use as a teak deck seam sealer. Extended exposure to chemicals (teak cleaners, oxalic acid, gasoline, strong solvents and other harsh
chemicals) may cause permanent softening of the sealant.
– 5200 is not recommended for the installation of glass, polycarbonate, or acrylic windows that are not also mechanically fastened. Inconsistent adhesion of these unprimed
substrates, specific design of the window and movement due to thermal expansion and flexing may cause application failure. Contact a Technical Service Engineer for help
with these applications.
– When using 3MTM Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 with metals it may be necessary to prime the surface to achieve adequate adhesion and durability of the bond. 3M
Metal Primer P592 may be used for priming of most metals.
Cleanup:
For cleaning 3MTM Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 before it is cured, use a dry cloth to remove the majority of sealant, followed by a cloth damp with 3MTM General
Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08984. Cured material can be removed mechanically with a knife, razor blade, piano wire, or sanding device.

Description
This is a non-corrosive, neutral cure, 1-part, RTV (Room
Temperature Vulcanising) silicone adhesive sealant. It is one in a
range of Alkoxy cure products which are solvent free. It exhibits
excellent primerless adhesion to many substrates and cures at
room temperature when in contact with atmospheric moisture to
form a tough rubber. This product will not corrode copper or its
alloys and is suitable for use with electronic components.
Key Features
Non corrosive
Excellent adhesion to most substrates
Fast skinning
Non slumping paste
Application
Vibration damping and board coating e.g. voltage regulators
Use and Cure Information
This product is a ready for use 1 Part system. If supplied in
cartridges it can be applied using either manual or pneumatic
dispensing guns. It can also be applied from bulk containers
using conventional drum dispensing equipment.
All surfaces to which the sealant is to be applied should be clean,
dry and free from grease, dirt, and loose material. Priming of
surfaces is not normally required. If using as an adhesive, it
should be applied to one clean surface and the other clean
surface brought into contact with it within the tack free time stated
opposite. For optimum bond strength, the thickness of the sealant
joint should be a minimum of 1 mm.
The sealant will cure upon exposure to atmospheric moisture,
ideally between 20 to 30 C and 40% to 70% Relative Humidity.
Time taken for cure will depend on the thickness of the joint,
humidity and temperature. Joints should be left undisturbed for at
least 24 hours, but preferably longer to effect sufficient depth of
cure. Full cure requires 7 days.
For pneumatic dispensing of 310 ml cartridges, the
recommended pressure is 2.25 to 3.45 bar (40 to 50 psi).
Dispensing pressure above the recommended limits may lead to
gas bypassing the piston, causing spluttering at the nozzle and
poor bead quality
It is important to check the compatibility in premininary tests if
unknown substrates are used.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATES:
Surfaces to be bonded should be cleaned of all dust, oils or other
contaminates. A solvent wipe is often adequate. Bonds to rigid surfaces are
usually improved by a solvent wipe followed with light abrasion (180 grit),
and solvent wiping to remove abrasive residue.
Dry surfaces thoroughly before applying adhesive
.
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
SOLIDSEAL can be applied by ordinary caulking guns or pressure
pumping equipment. Pumping equipment should be of the follower-plate type
and have a pump ratio of at least 65:1. Aro, Binks, DeVilbiss, Graco and
Lincoln all produce suitable equipment for handling this material. Consult
Royal representative or equipment supplier to ensure installation of proper
equipment (including moisture lock hoses and accessories) are in place before
start-up. Apply a bead of SOLIDSEAL to one surface at temperatures
above 40 F. Surface skin formation will occur in 40-60 minutes, depending
on ambient conditions. Initial set time is 4 hours, after which parts may be
handled.
Clamping, taping or use of mechanical fasteners to hold parts in place until
SOLIDSEAL develops strength is recommended. After 24 hours at room
temperature, the product is considered self-holding.

Exotherm of Crestomers
High exotherm in an adhesive can cause the substrate to distort and give poor aesthetic characteristics to
the parts being bonded. The chemistry of Crestomer
adhesives ensures that high exotherm temperatures, a
characteristic of some other adhesives do not occur. The graph shows the exotherm temperatures of Crestomer
adhesives over a range of test temperatures.

Surface Preparation
Crestomer 1152PA has excellent adhesion to FRP material provided that the surface has been maintained free
of dust and grease. This can be guaranteed by the use of propietary stripable cloths such as peel ply (without
lubricant contaminates). If the laminate surface is more than three days old it is recommended that they are
lightly abraded and wiped with acetone or styrene on a lint-free, clean cloth prior to bonding.
Application
Crestomer 1152PA is supplied pre-accelerated. The required hardner is Butanox M50 (or other equivalent MEKP
catalyst). The catalyst is added at 2% v/w. Crestomer 1152PA can be applied with a spatula or from a dispensing
unit, taking care to keep air entrapment to a minimum. Application should always be carried out at temperatures
above 15

use of additional pigments or fillers is not recommended as they can affect the performance of the adhesive.
For industrial/ commercial use only. The user must determine the suitability of a selected adhesive for a given
substrate and application. Contact your local Scott Bader representative for questions or assistance with the
selection of adhesives for your use. This product is intended for use by skilled individuals at their own risk.
Recommendations contained herein are based on information we believe to be reliable. The properties and
strength values are obtained under controlled conditions at the Scott Bader laboratory.
Storage and Shelf Life
Crestomer 1152PA should be stored between 2

Epoxy Tooling Board
Intermediate-temperature Use, Low CTE
CURE PARAMETERS FOR USE WITH SikaBlock
M974 Tools:
To protect from excess movement, cracking, thermal shock, or warpage the temperature differential ( T) between
the center of the tool and the external surface should never exceed 55 F on either ramp up or cool down. To
achieve this, temperature soaks of 6-8 hours every 55 F up and down in the oven and temperature ramp rates of
no more than .5 F/min are recommended, Leave the tool in the oven for at least 6-8 hours below 100 F before
opening doors and exposing the tool to room temperature conditions. Do not cure or use over a 235 F temperature.
ASSEMBLY
The recommended adhesive for bonding SikaBlock
M974 is EL-336 laminating resin. Cure adhesive 16 24 hours at
room temperature before applying the heat cure to adhesive (this is all before machining board to shape needed). Heat
cure the adhesive per slow ramp rate/soak rates given above to the required tool or part cure temperature needed up
to 235 F maximum. Machine board to final shape only after curing adhesive per these parameters.
