VISCOSITY VS. TEMPERATURE
The following graph shows a typical temperature-viscosity
curve as measured using a Haake rotoviscometer PK100,
M10/PK1 2° Cone system at a shear rate of 2 s

which is
representative of the shear rate in the dispense nozzle.
Increased cabin or nozzle temperature in the 30°C to 35°C
range may aid dispense performance at higher dispense
speeds.

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Recommended conditions for curing are exposure to heat
above 100 °C (typically 90-120 seconds @ 150 °C). Rate of
cure and final strength will depend on the residence time at the
cure temperature.
Cure Speed vs. Time, Temperature
The following graph shows the rate of torque strength
developed with time at different temperatures. These times are
defined from the moment the adhesive reaches cure
temperature. In practice, total oven time may be longer to allow
for heat up period. Strength is measured on 1206 capacitors @
22 °C, tested according to IPC SM817, TM-650 Method 2.4.42.
