How to use

Surface Preparation:: It is always essential to clean substrates before application. Unlike most epoxy adhesives, you will not need to extensively prepare the surface before application. Light abrasion will improve the bond perfomance though.

Curing:: Due to the heat curing system, Aerok 7020 will require a heat oven of 100℃ for 60 minutes. Or will require a heat oven of 150℃ for 30 minutes.

Does Aerok 7020 bond with substrates other than metal?

While primarily formulated for metals, it may adhere to certain other substrates. But due to the heat-induced curing system, other substrates (like plastics and composites) cannot withstand the temperatures required to cure Aerok 7020.

How is Aerok 7020 so strong?

The key to Aerok 7020's strength is its chemical composition. The epoxy-based formulation is the main reason why it offers such impressive strength. The real reason behind the strength is a secret though. It can achieve strengths up to 60 MPa which is nearly double the next strongest product from Forgeway (Aerok 8020 which is 35MPa).

Does the minimal surface preparation compromise bond strength?

No, despite requiring minimal surface prep, Aerok 7020 is formulated to provide an ultra-high strength bond. If you want to achieve even higher strengths then surface preparation (like abrasion and IPA wipes) can improve performance even further.
