Why Use Adhesives?
Replace screws, nails, bolts, clamps,
rivets, welding, soldering, etc.
Joint stress distributed evenly
through the joint
No damage to substrates
Bond and seal joints
Reduces weight (number of
components) and cost
Fast and convenient
Most products have excellent fluid
resistance

RITE-LOK™ Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
Which grade?
Choose the correct grade for the substrate or application
Rubber – PR
High temperature – HT or RT
Wood - SI
Choose the viscosity. Does the application require:
LOW (5 cPs) - Post assembly (adhesive applied after final assembly)
MEDIUM (100 cPs) – Most applications
HIGH (1500 cPs) - Porous (most woods, foam rubber)
VERY HIGH (Gel) - Vertical or underside applications

RITE-LOK™ Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
Mechanism of RITE-LOK™ Cyanoacrylate Adhesive cure
An acidic stabiliser (red) keeps
cyanoacrylate liquid
Water particles (blue) on
the substrate surface
neutralise the stabiliser
Polymerisation begins and the
parts are bonded together
15

3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division
RITE-LOK™ Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
Where not to use cyanoacrylate adhesives!
Where the application will be submerged in water or constantly wet
These conditions can soften the adhesive and may cause failures
Where there are low ambient humidity conditions
These conditions will slow down the curing process
Cyanoacrylate adhesive will bond to glass, but failure is likely later
Silane based substrate where insufficient chemical bonds are made with the surface
of the glass
Please remember!
Thin bond lines give the strongest bond and cure most rapidly

3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division
RITE-LOK™ Cyanoacrylate Activators
RITE-LOK™ Activators are designed for:
Rapid curing of RITE-LOK™ cyanoacrylate adhesives–even below 0º C
Curing on difficult to bond substrates (for example, wood)
Curing where gap-filling is required
Before assembly
apply to one substrate only
parts should be assembled immediately the activator is dry
on-part life of 15 minutes
After assembly
spray on the joint to cure any uncured adhesive
Shelf life – 12 months (AC800 – 9 months)

RITE-LOK™ Cyanoacrylate Activators
RITE-LOK™ Activators
AC11 – standard activator for most applications
AC12 – sensitive plastics and medical device applications
The use of RITE-LOK™ Activators can reduce the bond strength of the joint by up to
30%
Always test for compatibility when using on plastics to prevent stress cracking

RITE-LOK™ Anaerobic Range
What is an anaerobic adhesive?
Anaerobic adhesives cure in the absence of oxygen and in the presence of metal
ions
To keep the adhesive in a liquid state, an air space is left in the bottle and the low
density container allows air migration
How does an anaerobic adhesive cure?
Before assembly
AIR
After assembly
Solid
Liquid
Oxygen present - the
adhesive remains liquid
23
© 3M 2007. All Rights Reserved.
Oxygen excluded/the adhesive is in contact with
metal - the adhesive cures to form a tough, durable
plastic film which bonds and seals the joint
3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division

dipping or brushing parts
Metal particles will contaminate the adhesive in the container causing
polymerisation

How do RITE-LOK™ UV adhesives cure?
RITE-LOK™ UV adhesive formulations contain monomers and
photoinitiators
When exposed to UV light, photoinitiators change into free radicals
Free radicals stimulate the formation of chains of monomers and the
adhesive cures

RITE-LOK™ UV Adhesives
Check light penetration of substrates
One substrate must allow the passage of UV light!!
Some plastics only allow a little UV light penetration
Some substrates may contain UV absorbent films/chemicals
Protect uncured adhesives from light
Keep the cap on the container when not in use
Keep in the supplied container
Match the lamp wavelength to the photo-initiator of the product
This will ensure a tack-free surface for potting and coating applications
Beware of shadow areas where the UV light can not penetrate to the
bond line
