Proper Installation Techniques

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Mounts

For proper installation of adhesive mounts with

foam tape, simply remove the protective paper

covering from the foam adhesive and place the

mount in the desired location. Avoid touching the

foam adhesive prior to placing on the surface.

Apply firm pressure to the mount in order to insure

proper adhesion.

Epoxy Adhesive Mounts

PANDUIT ® EMA adhesive is a two-part epoxy

cement which is packaged in convenient mixer cups

containing an equal amount of resin and hardener.

Pop the center of the cup in to form the mixing bowl.

Each cup is supplied with a mixer stick and contains

enough epoxy to properly apply three EMS mounts.

Equal amounts of the epoxy should be mixed to

obtain a uniform, gray color. The mixer stick can

then be used to apply the epoxy to the mount. The

epoxy should be forced into the grooves on the

bottom of the mount to obtain optimum bond

performance. The mount should be applied to the

surface with light pressure and a back-and-forth

twisting motion. Hardening of the epoxy begins five

minutes after mixing at room temperature.

Proper Storage Conditions

All

PANDUIT adhesive products have an expiration

date printed on the package label. Use the following

storage guidelines:

1. For rubber and acrylic based foam tape

adhesives, store in temperatures of 70°F (21°C)

and 45% Relative Humidity (R.H.)

2. For epoxy type adhesives, store in temperatures

of 40°F (4°C) to 75°F (25°C) and relative

humidity not in excess of 45%.

Storage in opened containers is not recommended.

Using the guidelines above, the average shelf life of

foam tape is 3 years. Shelf life of epoxy is 1 year.

Deviation from the recommended storage

conditions may reduce the shelf life or adhesive

strength. In any case, adhesive products should

never be stored near heating vents or other heat

sources, and storage in lower temperatures than

those recommended may increase the shelf life.

Mount Removal

There is no simple or easy method for removing

PANDUIT adhesives. A thin wire or razor blade can

be moved in between the surfaces when removing

foam tape mounts; however, the adhesive residue

will remain on the surface. Epoxy adhesives may be

removed with a commercial paint stripping solution.
