10 SPARES & ACCESSORIES
10.1 ADHESIVES
The adhesive supplied with the Elcometer 508 is 3M™ Scotch-Weld™
MC1500 Cyanoacrylate Adhesive.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are normally recommended for gluing dollies
to the sample area due to their relatively quick curing time. However,
there are a number of coatings for which the cyanoacrylate adhesives
may not be suitable. These are:
1
Thermoplastics, celluloses, vinyl, chlorinated rubbers and some
acrylics, due to the possibility of the glue reacting with the coating.
2
Porous coatings e.g. some metal spraying, in which case the
glue, due to its low viscosity will travel into the coating, sticking
particles together and possibly altering its adhesion.
A two-pack epoxy such as Araldite or a modified acrylic gel-type
adhesive should be used with the coatings described in (1) and (2)
above.
If in doubt as to the type of adhesive to use, please contact the coating
manufacturer for advice.
