Permanent Identification Proper Storage Conditions All Panduit adhesive products have an expiration date printed on the package label. Use the following storage guidelines: 1. For rubber and acrylic based foam tape adhesives, store in temperatures of 70°F (21°C) and 45% Relative Humidity (R.H.). 2. For epoxy type adhesives, store in temperatures of 40°F (4°C) to 75°F (25°C) and relative humidity not in excess of 45%. Storage in opened containers is not recommended. Using the guidelines above, the shelf life of foam tape is 3 years. Shelf life of epoxy is 1 year. Deviation from the recommended storage conditions may reduce the shelf life or adhesive strength. In any case, adhesive products should never be stored near heating vents or other heat sources, and storage in lower temperatures than those recommended may increase the shelf life. Stock Rotation Adhesive mount inventory should be rotated in order to insure the quality of the adhesive foam tape. Each package of Panduit adhesive backed mounts has a quality control number and a best-if-used-by date on the package label. The best-if-used-by date provides the customer with an accurate way to control the rotation of inventory, and, as is the case with all Panduit products, the quality control number provides complete traceability for all components that go into a specific production run of product. Mount Removal There is no simple or easy method for removing Panduit adhesives. A thin wire or razor blade can be moved in between the surfaces when removing foam tape mounts; however, the adhesive residue will remain on the surface. Epoxy adhesives may be removed with a commercial paint stripping solution. Best-If-Used-By Date Selection and Use of Adhesive Mounts (continued) Surface Preparation For best results, Panduit adhesive mounts should be applied to clean, dry, grease-free surfaces. We recommend that the surface be cleaned prior to mount installation. For rubber and acrylic based foam tape adhesives, a blend of isopropyl alcohol and water 50/50 may be used to clean most surfaces. For epoxy type adhesives, especially masonry surfaces, be sure to clean all loose particles away before mount installation. Some surface abrasion is recommended to achieve maximum strength. A light rubbing with medium grit emery cloth or sandpaper is best. Wash after abrading. Proper Installation Techniques For Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Mounts For proper installation of adhesive mounts with foam tape, simply remove the release liner and place the mount in the desired location. Avoid touching the adhesive prior to positioning the mount. Apply firm pressure to the mount for 5 seconds to insure proper adhesion. Alcohol 12 6 3 9 1) Clean surface with a clean cloth and isopropyl alcohol. 2) Allow surface to air dry. 3) Remove the release liner, being careful not to touch the adhesive. 4) Apply full thumb pressure for at least 5 seconds. 5) Allow mount to properly dwell.
