• Usage Information
  • Surface Preparation
    • All substrates should be clean, dry, and free of contaminants such as dirt, grease, or powder. To ensure maximum adhesion, clean the parts chemically with methanol, acetone or other suitable solvent. If large amounts of powder or parting agent are encountered on molded parts, ultrasonic cleaning is recommended. Air dry all parts after chemical cleaning. A pre-bake can be used to drive off entrapped solvents. Rubber compounds should be tested for solvent compatibility, since prolonged contact with some solvents will cause swelling.
  • Mixing
    • Do not paint or shake as foaming will occur. Use low propeller mixing for uniformity.
  • Application
    • To obtain the most uniform coating, BONDERITE® S-FN TM-001A should be applied by spray techniques to a thickness of 0.0002-0.0006 inches (0.005 - 0.015 millimeters), using two to four passes. A very thin initial spraying pass is recommended to increase wetting ability of the product and to permit enough drying to avoid runs. BONDERITE® S-FN TM-001A may also be applied by brush or dip methods. Spills are easily cleaned up with water.
  • Curing
    • For optimum coating and lubrication performance, a curing cycle of 30 minutes at 150°C is recommended using either a circulating oven or use of infrared lamps. A longer time, lower temperature cycle will not produce an equivalent cure. There is no pronounced color change to determine when curing is complete, but the glossy appearance and slight tackiness of an air-dried coating becomes dull and velvety when cured. Coatings of BONDERITE® S-FN TM-001A may be air dried in some applications, such as gaskets or when coatings are applied to a hot surface, but lubricating and physical properties will be reduced.

Shelf life for this product is 12 months from date of qualification under original seal. BONDERITE® S-FN TM-001A should not come in contact with ketones. Prolonged storage of BONDERITE® S-FN TM-001A at temperatures above 27°C is not recommended, and under no circumstances should the product be allowed to freeze. Refrigerated storage at 5 - 10°C will extend shelf life. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Spraying should be done in an adequately ventilated booth. The curing oven room or area should also be ventilated. Empty containers may retain hazardous properties.
