106 is suited for structural and secondary bonding applications where flame
retardant properties are required. Recommended for bonding substrates including,
but not limited to, Nomex & aluminum honeycombs, metals, cured & uncured
epoxy composites, balsa, and foams.
Variants
• 106-8: Increased tack
106 is supplied in standard film weights from 0.030 to 0.090 psf (150-450 gsm),
either unsupported or on a variety of commercially available reinforcements,
including:
• Non-woven polyester carrier (HC)
• Nylon mesh (N), and tricot (TR)

Recommended processing conditions
106 can be cured at temperatures from 235°F (113°C) to 300°F (149°C), depending
on part size and complexity. Low, medium, and high pressure molding techniques
may be used for curing. Recommended cure cycle is 25psi (172kPa), 3°F
(1.7°C)/min, ramp to 250°F (135°C), hold for 60 minutes, cool to <140°F (60°C).
