GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected
with a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing
materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean the
surfaces before bonding, it is important to check for
compatibility of the washing solution with the adhesive. In
some cases these aqueous washes can affect the cure and
performance of the adhesive.
This product is not normally recommended for use on plastics
(particularly thermoplastic materials where stress cracking of
the plastic could result). Users are recommended to confirm
compatibility of the product with such substrates.
Handling precautions
The solvent can affect certain plastics or coatings. It is
recommended to check all surfaces for compatibility before
use.
Directions for use:
1. Applying LOCTITE
®
768™
to
cured
cyanoacrylate
adhesive will allow its removal in several minutes to
several hours, depending on the amount of the adhesive.
2. Thin layers of adhesive will wipe off with a LOCTITE
®
768™ soaked tissue or cloth.
3. Thick beads or drops will take between 15 and 30 minutes
and will require reapplication of solvent.
4. Bonded parts may require several hours of soaking.
