APPLICATION GUIDELINES
SHIPMENT
This Ablestik product is packed and shipped in dry ice at
–80ºC. Inside every dry ice shipment of Ablestik’s products
is a small packet containing the ABLECUBE. This is a
small blue cube which retains its shape at –40ºC. If the
ABLECUBE is exposed to temperatures higher than –40ºC,
the cube will melt.
Please check the state of the ABLECUBE to ensure the
integrity of the shipment. If the ABLECUBE has melted upon
Receiving inspection, place the entire shipment in a –40ºC
freezer and contact your Ablestik Customer Service or Sales
Representative.
UNPACKING
Transfer the syringes from the dry ice to a –40ºC freezer
without ANY delays. Freeze-thaw voids will form in the
syringes if the syringes are repeatedly thawed and refrozen.
STORAGE
This Ablestik product must be stored at –40ºC. The shelf
life of the material is only valid when the material has been
stored at the specified storage condition. Incorrect storage
conditions will degrade the performance of the material in
both handling (e.g. dispensing or screen printing) and final
cured properties.
THAWING
Allow the container to reach room temperature before use.
After removing from the freezer, set the syringes to stand
vertically while thawing. Refer to the Syringe Thaw Time
chart for the thaw time recommendation.
DO NOT open the container before contents reach ambient
temperature. Any moisture that collects on the thawed
container should be removed prior to opening the container.
DO NOT re-freeze. Once thawed to room temperature, the
adhesive should not be re-frozen.
ADHESIVE APPLICATION
Thawed adhesive should be immediately placed on
dispense equipment for use. If the adhesive is transferred
to a final dispensing reservoir, care must be exercised
to avoid entrapment of contaminants and/or air into the
adhesive.
Adhesive must be completely used within the product’s
recommended work life of 24 hours.
Apply enough adhesive to achieve a 25-50
µm
(1-2 mil)
wet bondline thickness, dispensed with approximately 25%
- 50% filleting on all sides of the die. Alternate dispense
amounts may be used depending on the application
requirements. Star or crossed shaped dispense patterns
will yield fewer bondline voids than the matrix style of
dispense pattern.
Contact your Ablestik Technical Service Department
for detailed recommendation on adhesive application,
including dispensing.
