ALUSEAL ADHESIVE CEMENT NO. 2 ALUSEAL ADHESIVE CEMENT NO. 2
Physical properties were determined on specimens prepared under laboratory conditions using
applicable ASTM procedures. Actual field conditions may vary and yield different results; there-
fore, data are subject to reasonable deviation. Data should not be used for specification purposes.
If high humidity resistance is required
and it is impractical to fire No. 2, a mois-
ture-resistant lacquer, silicone coating, or
Sauereisen Hi-Temp Primer No. 560
should be applied to the exposed sur-
faces.
PACKAGING
No. 2: 1-quart and 1-gallon cans;
5-gallon pails.
CLEAN-UP
All equipment should be cleaned with
soap and water before No. 2 cures. If
removal is required after cure, a low con-
centration of sodium hydroxide may dis-
solve the cement. Consult Sauereisen
for other recommendations.
SHELF LIFE
Sauereisen Aluseal Adhesive Cement
No. 2 has a shelf life of six months when
stored in unopened, tightly sealed con-
tainers in a dry location at 70
o
F. If there
is doubt as to the quality of the material,
consult Sauereisen.

Strong ceramic adhesive for:

Bonding
Sauereisen Aluseal Adhesive Cement
No. 2 is a ceramic cement paste offering
good bond strength and thermal shock
resistant properties for assembling, seal-
ing and cementing porcelain, glass, metal
and other materials. Its fine particle size
and excellent flow characteristics make
No. 2 a good candidate for those applica-
tions where an inorganic bond is required
between component parts and only small
clearances are available.
No. 2 exhibits good coating properties.
Thin film sections have shown exception-
al flexural and tensile strength for a
ceramic adhesive. Sauereisen No. 2 is
supplied as a ready-mixed paste and may
be applied by brushing, dipping or spray-
ing. No. 2 is suitable for use on produc-
tion lines with mechanical dispensers or
applicators because it will not harden in
the equipment during normal operation.
CHARACTERISTICS
Heat conductive
Thermal shock resistant
Insulates electricity
Good mechanical bond
INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing
No. 2 should be thoroughly remixed to a
smooth, uniform consistency prior to use.
In some cases, setting may occur during
transport and storage.
Application
Surfaces to receive No. 2 should be clean
and free of grease and dirt. Porous sub-
strates should be dampened slightly with
Sauereisen Thinning Liquid No. 14 prior
to application.
No. 2 should be used in thin applications;
apply several coats where a heavy layer is
desired. In multiple coat applications,
each coat must be thoroughly dry prior to
applying additional coats. If necessary,
Thinning Liquid No. 14 should be used
where the No. 2 cement is required in a
thinner consistency. Minimum amountsof
liquid should be used as excess liquid
reduces mechanical strength, increases
shrinkage and delays set time. No. 2
should not be applied at a thickness
greater than 1/4 inch.
SETTING/CURING
No. 2 cures by air drying at room tempera-
ture. Drying time depends on the consis-
tency and thickness of the application.
Normally 18-24 hours drying at ambient
temperature is sufficient. When the
cement has minimal exposure to air, or if it
is desired to accelerate the cure, low tem-
perature oven drying at 180
o
F may be
used. Avoid steaming while drying. If the
cement will be exposed to elevated tem-
peratures, contact Sauereisen for appro-
priate drying schedule recommendations. CAUTION
Consult Material Safety Data Sheets and
container label Caution Statements for
any hazards in handling this material.
