About M460
ADINOX M460 is a flexible, two-part methacrylate adhesive with a 10:1 mix ratio, designed for the structural bonding of various substrates, including carbon fibre and some plastics. M460 provides high-strength, flexible bonds to the above surfaces with generally no preparation required. It bonds very strongly to steel, stainless steel and aluminium, and allows a great deal of movement of the substrates due to differences in coefficient of thermal expansion.
With a mixing ratio of 10:1, ADINOX M460 reaches handling strength in 12 to 15 minutes and 90% of its full strength in 55 minutes at room temperature.

How to use ADINOX M460?
1. SURFACE PREPARATION
Before starting the application, always wear the appropriate safety equipment (gloves and protective eyewear) and work in a well-ventilated area.
Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded are free of dust, grease, oil and moisture, as any contaminants can affect the adhesive's performance.
If necessary, clean the surfaces mechanically or chemically according to the substrate, then allow them to dry completely before application.
2. PREPARING THE ADHESIVE
Perform an initial purge by extruding a small amount of each component without the mixing nozzle to ensure proper flow.
Attach the mixing nozzle securely to ensure the correct mixing of both adhesive components.
Insert the cartridge into the application gun, ensuring it is completely secure.
Before applying to the part, purge a small amount with the nozzle installed to ensure a homogeneous mixture from the outset.
Apply a continuous, uniform bead to one of the surfaces, without stopping the application, to prevent bubbles or incomplete mixing.
3. BONDING AND CURING
Join the pieces immediately after application. Apply constant, uniform pressure to ensure full contact between the surfaces.
Open time: The period during which the mixed adhesive can be applied and handled before it begins to cure.
Working time: The period during which the mixed adhesive reaches approximately 70% of its cure. From this point onwards, it is no longer possible to move the parts without affecting the bond.
Leave the parts to rest completely.
Once you have finished applying the adhesive, remove the mixing nozzle.
Clean the cartridge outlet carefully in a horizontal position to prevent the components from mixing inside.
