M108 ELASTOSOL

Elastosol
SDS All Documents
Product overview
Elastosol M108 is a room temperature applied, low viscosity paste, based on sulphur cured polybutadiene. Elastosol M108 contains solid glass beads that act as spacers during the hemming process to control glue line thickness and prevent adhesive from being squeezed out of the joint. The glass beads are totally inert in all other respects and have no effect, either on the rate of curing or on the modulus of the cured product. Elastosol M108 is free from chlorine and does not contain epoxy

Adhesive Technology AUTOMOTIVE ELASTOSOL
Color Black
Adhesion Typical result 4 Cohesive failure [MPa] (stoving conditions 25 minutes at 175°C. Bond 12 x 25 x 0.15 mm substrates mild & electrogalvanised steels)
Temperature Resistance The physical properties of Elastosol M108 vary according to temperature, but it retains good cohesive strength over a wide temperature range.
Viscosity Approx. 7 [g/min] extrusion rate (4bar; 2mm dia. Nozzle 25°C)
Chemical Resistance Elastosol M108 is resistant to water, common salt, ethylene glycol, oil and petrol in its cured state. Continuous immersion in petrol will swell the cured polymer.
Relative Density Approx. 1.7
Important Before embarking on any work involving Elastosol M108 the safety data sheet should be carefully studied by those carrying out the work.
Recommended Use Elastosol M108 has been developed as a lower temperature curing metal to metal adhesive for use in the automotive industry.
Shelf Life 6 months from date of manufacture, unopened in original container stored under the above conditions.
Storage
  • M108, like all Elastosols, must be protected from rain, snow and extreme heat.
  • The drums should not be stored outside where there will be potential for water ingress to occur.
  • M108 should be stored unopened in a cool dark place at no more than 20°C in order to preserve the 6 month shelf life from date of manufacture.
  • Please note: if the storage temperature is very low, the product must be allowed to warm up to ambient temperature prior to application.
Method Of Use

APPLICATION :

  • Elastosol M108 may be applied using conventional air-operated pumps. NOTE: Elastosol M108 contains abrasive glass beads that will wear out pumping equipment and nozzles at a greater rate than would normally be expected.


ADHESION AND CURE CONDITIONS :

  • Elastosol M108 adheres to a wide range of metal substrates and tolerates light coatings of mill or drawing oils (2-4 g/m2).
  • The minimum stoving condition to obtain good adhesion is 15 minutes at 140oC. Subsequent curing is required at 175oC for 25 minutes to achieve full bond strength.
  • With Elastosols, overbaking does not lead to loss of adhesion.


OVERPAINTING :

  • Elastosol M108 can be overpainted with oil based, cellulose based or stoving enamels but does not accept electrocoat paint.
