Preparation

For some substrates the use of mechanical pretreatment and/or cleaner or primer is necessary to achieve good adhesion.

Processing

Low temperatures can cause a temporary increase in viscosity resulting in reduced extrusion and slower curing rates.

Cleaning Instructions

Clean tools immediately after use. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Appropriate cleaners are listed in the product properties.

Dimensioning

The required thickness of the adhesive layer depends on the expected maximum strength and joint movement. We recommend a minimum layer thickness of 2 mm.
