Surface Preparation

  • Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, dust, and contaminants.
  • Proper alignment of components is critical due to the rapid curing nature of the adhesive.

Application Method

  1. Apply a small amount of Fasto CA13 to one surface only.
  2. Join the parts immediately and press firmly together.
  3. Hold until handling strength is achieved (within seconds).
  4. Avoid over-application, as excess adhesive can slow cure speed and reduce bond strength.

Curing Guidelines

  • Fixture time: 2–3 seconds
  • Full cure: 12 hours
  • Maximum gap fill: 0.10 mm
  • Best performance achieved on close-fitting joints

Additional Notes

  • Cure speed depends on humidity, temperature, and substrate type.
  • Low surface energy plastics (PP, PE, PTFE) may require a Fasto Cyanoacrylate Activator.
  • For removal or rework, use Fasto CA Debonder.
