Installation Guide
Step 1: Clean the Surface
- Remove dust, oil, grease, and other contaminants from the bonding area.
- Ensure the surface is dry before applying adhesion promoter.
Step 2: Apply 3M C110
- Apply a thin, even layer of adhesion promoter to the bonding surface.
- Avoid excessive application, which may affect adhesive performance.
Step 3: Allow Drying
- Allow the treated surface to dry completely before applying adhesive tape.
- Drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and application conditions.
Step 4: Apply Adhesive Tape
- Apply tape with firm and uniform pressure.
- Ensure maximum contact between adhesive and treated surface.
Step 5: Allow Bond Strength Development
- Allow sufficient bonding time before exposing the assembly to heavy loads or environmental stress.
Storage
- Store in the original sealed container.
- Keep in a cool, dry, and ventilated area.
- Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
- Follow recommended shelf-life requirements.
