Adhesives and Epoxies Q&A
-
We use 1184-M-T, 1184 MB, and 1184 MVT epoxies for various uses. What is a good solvent that can take apart lenses that are glued together using 1184-M-T adhesive?Answered June 22nd, 2011 by Expert:A few chemicals will dissolve or swell 1184-M-T or any other light-curable acrylate, such as dichloromethane, MEK, or acetone. It may take some time for the solvent to migrate all the way in between the laminate, so the time depends on the size of your parts. A more gentle method is to soak the lenses in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or even use warm IPA with the help of an ultrasonic cleaner. I would also suggest this method if your lenses are made of plastic, since plastic can withstand IPA but not other, more aggressive solvents.
