Multi-Seals, Inc. has introduced an innovative alternative to liquid adhesives for component assembly. The F05 Poly-forms are flexible pre-shaped adhesives designed for bonding diverse materials, including metals, plastics, and glass. F05 has negligible vertical flow, which keeps the adhesive contained in precisely defined areas. The pre-shaped copolymer prevents drips and dispensing inconsistencies typical of liquid adhesives. Adhesive placement is highly consistent from bond to bond. The durability and flexibility of F05 Poly-forms facilitates manual and automated handling and increases production rates. They can be pre-shaped in multiform configurations to accommodate a broad range of applications. The temperature and time required to process the Poly-forms depend upon component materials, design, bond requirements, and operating environment. Adding pressure and increasing oven temperature and time improves adhesion. The minimum processing temperature is 225°F (107°C). A typical processing schedule is 275°F (135°C) for 10 minutes under 5 psi. Additional processing profiles are shown on the attached specification sheet.
