Scott Bader Crestomer structural adhesives are designed to ensure they do not permit high exotherm temperatures, removing the risk of aesthetically damaging parts that are being bonded.
We recommend that this structural adhesive is used with MEKP (50%) catalyst, with the catalyst being added at 2% w/v. Once the catalyst has been added, the colour will change from blue to grey, which can be used as a visual check to evaluate the effectiveness of the catalyst mix.
