- Use and Cure Information
- This product is a ready for use 1 Part system. If supplied in cartridges it can be applied using either manual or pneumatic dispensing guns. It can also be applied from bulk containers using conventional drum dispensing equipment.
- All surfaces to which the sealant is to be applied should be clean, dry and free from grease, dirt, and loose material. Priming of surfaces is not normally required. If using as an adhesive, it should be applied to one clean surface and the other clean surface brought into contact with it within the tack free time stated opposite. For optimum bond strength, the thickness of the sealant joint should be a minimum of 1 mm.
- The sealant will cure upon exposure to atmospheric moisture, ideally between 20 to 30 ºC and 40% to 70% Relative Humidity. Time taken for cure will depend on the thickness of the joint, humidity and temperature. Joints should be left undisturbed for at least 24 hours, but preferably longer to effect sufficient depth of cure. Full cure requires 7 days.
- “For pneumatic dispensing of 310 ml cartridges, the recommended pressure is 2.25 to 3.45 bar (40 to 50 psi). Dispensing pressure above the recommended limits may lead to gas bypassing the piston, causing spluttering at the nozzle and poor bead quality”
