Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive (MMA)

Approved MMA’s and working times:

• Plexus MA590 (90 minute)
• SciGrip SG300-40 (40 minute)
• Partite 7425 (25 minute)

MMA, dispense guns, and solvent wipes can be purchased from FibreGlast.

MMA comes in multiple mixing ratios – 1:1, 2:1, or 10:1. Use the correct dispense gun and mixing nozzles for the MMA type. Failure to do so will result in poor adhesion and will void the systems warranty.

Quantity:

Controller Size	Adhesive Quantity
450 mm	2 x 400 ml cartridges or 2 x 490 ml cartridges (1 per Controller)
525 mm	3 x 400 ml cartridges or 2 x 490 ml cartridges (1 ½ x 400 ml or 1 x 490 ml per Controller)
600 mm	3 x 400 ml cartridges or 2 x 490 ml cartridges (1 ½ x 400 ml or 1 x 490 ml per Controller)

WARNING: Check the MMA being used to verify it is compatible with the hull material (epoxy resin fiberglass, polyester resin fiberglass, gel coat, etc). Some MMA’s require a primer when used with certain materials. Plexus primer must be used if performing an aluminum installation with Plexus MMA.
