TECHNICAL DATA SHEET - ANGLSOL 2000
INTRODUCTION: ANGLOSOL 2000 ready-mixed, colourless gap filling
solvent-based cement. It consists of a blend of specially formulated
solvents and resins.
ANGLOSOL 2000 hardens as the solvent is absorbed oe evaporates.
The solvent softens the surfaces being joined so that they
fuse, hardening as the solvent migrates into the body of the
material. The cement has been specially developed to reduce
the problems of rapid drying and 'skinning' common with solvent-based
cements.
It is a versatile, single part cement suitable for general
fabrication work which does not need high bond strength. ANGLOSOL
2000 is especially suitable for joining extruded acrylic as
well as cast acrylic (Perspex) sheet without stress crazing.
Note: ANGLOSOL 2000 should not be used for some outdoor applications
and cannot be used with Perspex ME, Perspex SW or Perspex AG
grades. Nor is it rocommended for laminating casr acrylic (Perspex)
sheets as crazing will eventually appear. For certain outdoor
applications check the suitability with the manufacturers.
SELF LIFE: ANGLOSOL 2000 in an un-opened container has a shelf
life of 9 months. Un-opened containers do not need to be stored
in a refrigerator. Always replace the lid of the container
immediately after use to prevent the Evaporation of the solvent.
ALWAYS SHAKE THE TIN BEFORE USE
NOTE: This adhesive is not recommended for structural applications
on aircraft.
LIMIT EXPOSURE TO AIR BEFORE APPLYING THE CEMENT: Dispense
the cement directly into the joint using a small flexible polyethylene
bottle with a suitable nozzle or hypodermic syringe with a
shortened wide-bore needle, Anglo's special Application Kit
is recommended. Use the dispenser which holds no more cement
than is needed fo rthe job. Prevent the nozzle or needle from
becoming clogged by inserting a steel wire or pin whenever
the dispenser is not being used.
Do not use ANGLOSOL 2000 for laminating as the absorption of
the solvent is likely to cause distortions and/or stress crazing.
MIGRATION OF PIGMENTS: The solvent in ANGLOSOL 2000 may cause
soluble colourants to migrate from one piece of acrylic (or
other plastic being used) to the next. If colour is important,
check for any migration by making a small test joint.
