Handling and Use

Verify the resin, hardener, mix ratio, dispensing equipment, and surface preparation before opening material. Do not substitute another hardener unless the adhesive maker has approved it for the same system. Use clean equipment to prevent contamination that could affect cure.

For critical assemblies, run a process check on representative substrates before full production. Confirm cure, bond strength, and environmental exposure requirements with the current technical data sheet.

HW 8680 Hardener Technical Notes
