SCIGRIP® SG230HV

Chemical Family
Methacrylates

SCIGRIP® SG230HV is a two-component, 10:1 mix ratio product for bonding composite and other plastic parts with little to no surface preparation1,2. The adhesive is designed to work with a selection of activators to provide a wide range of working times from 30 to 120 minutes. SG230 HV is mostly used in marine, transportation and construction applications. It is especially suited for bonding large structural parts requiring long working times and for filling deep irregular gaps up to 1.5 inches (39 mm). SG230 HV is available in 490 ml cartridges and 5 and 50 gallon (19 and 189 liters) in bulk containers for application with meter-mix dispense equipment. The combination of SG230 HV A with SG220 B activator is recommended only for use above 85°F (29°C) ambient temperature.

Usage

To ensure consistent performance, product temperatures must be held reasonably constant between 65°F (18°C) and 80°F (27°C). Substrate preparation, adhesive/activator ratio, application temperature, humidity and a variety of other environmental and end user application factors are beyond the control of IPS Adhesives; therefore, the end user is solely responsible for determining whether the product is fit for a specific purpose and suitable for the user's product, design and final application requirements.

Curing

Working time is the approximate time, after mixing components A and B that the adhesive remains fluid and bondable. Fixture time is the approximate time after mixing components A and B required for the adhesive to develop sufficient strength to allow careful movement, unclamping or de-molding of assembled parts. Parts can generally be put in service when 80 percent of full strength is developed. The time to achieve 80% cure is approximately 2-3 times that required for fixturing. The working and fixture times presented in this bulletin are based on laboratory tests performed at 75°F (24°C). Higher temperatures speed the curing reaction, which reduces working time and speeds the development of strength. The reverse is true for lower temperatures. If significant variation in temperatures or application at very high or low temperatures is anticipated, contact your SCIGRIP representative for technical assistance.

Safety

Read Material Safety Data Sheet before handling or using this product. Adhesive component A contains flammable methyl methacrylate monomer. Always use in a well-ventilated area. Floor-level extraction and large quantities of moving air greatly facilitate ventilation. Activator component B contains peroxide. Both materials must be stored in a cool place away from sources of heat and open flames or sparks. Keep containers closed when not in use. Prevent contact with skin and eyes. In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. Harmful if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children.

Clean Up

Adhesive components and mixed adhesive should be removed from mixing and application equipment with a suitable industrial solvent or cleaner before the mixed adhesive cures. Once the adhesive cures, soaking in a strong solvent or paint remover will be required to soften the adhesive for removal. If the bonds are exposed to UV rays then use of plasticizers such as Benzoflex 2088 is recommended, or contact your SCIGRIP representative for additional information. Any clean-up of the bonded assembly using industrial solvents is not recommended as it could affect the cure.
