Product 3M™ Thermal Bonding Film AF42 Tensile (psi) 4800 Elongation (%) 250 Modulus (psi) 65,000 Color After Cure Clear Suggested Use Procedure Room Temperature Work Life – 3M™ Thermal Bonding Film AF42 has a work life of 4 weeks. Work life is defined as the time at room temperature that the product will still yield the performance data summarized in this data sheet if bonds are made and tested per instructions. Shelf Life – (usable life) of Bonding Film AF42 is: 4 weeks @ 21°C (70°F) 15 months @ 4°C (40°F) Cure Conditions – The suggested curing condition for 3M film AF42 is 60 minutes at 177°C (350°F). The adhesive may be cured either under pressure or in a vacuum bag. Alternate suggested cure cycles are shown below. Bondline Temperature Time (in minutes) 177°C (350°F) 60 204°C (400°F) 15 232°C (450°F) 10 During cure, pressure is required to keep parts in alignment and in intimate contact. A minimum of 20 psi is suggested, but higher psi is acceptable if resultant flow during cure is not excessive. Bondline Thickness – Unless otherwise specified, the bondline thickness used to generate the data in this data sheet was 3 mils. Since 3M film AF42 will flow when heated to its curing temperature (… and the higher the cure temperature, the more the flow…), it may be necessary to insert mechanical spacers (i.e., beads, wires, stops, etc.) in the bondline to maintain this thickness. Cold Storage Removal – Important: During storage, 3M film AF42 should be wrapped/sealed in a polyethylene (or similar) wrap/bag. When removing the wrapped roll or sheets from cold storage, especially if stored below 0°C (32°F), ample time should be given before handling or overwrap removal to allow for the roll/sheets to acclimate to room temperature for two reasons: 1) to prevent moisture from condensing on the adhesive surface; and 2) to prevent cracking of the adhesive as it is brittle when cold. Surface Preparation Prior to Bonding – A thoroughly cleaned, dry, grease-free surface is essential for maximum performance. Cleaning methods which will produce a break-free water film on metal surfaces are generally satisfactory. (2) 3M™ Thermal Bonding Film AF42 Suggested Use Procedure (continued) Application of Film to Substrate: A. Cut a portion of film sufficient for the assembly from the stock roll with protective liner(s) in place. Note earlier comment to bring adhesive to room temperature before use. B. Place the adhesive against the substrate using the liner as a protective cover. C. Position film and remove liner. D. Complete assembly and cure, be careful to avoid trapping air.
