What application pressure is required to optimize bond strength with Bond-Ply?
The answer to this varies from application to application, depending upon surface roughness and flatness. In general, pressure, temperature, and time are the primary variables associated with increasing surface contact or wet-out. Increasing the application time and/or pressure will significantly increase surface contact. Natural wet-out will continue to occur with Bond-Ply materials. This inherent action often increases bond strength by more than 2x within the first 24 hours.
