- Use and Cure Information
This product is a ready for use 1 Part system and can be directly dispensed from the original container without mixing. 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, dust, dirt, and loose material. Priming of surfaces is not normally required but in some cases it may be necessary to pretreat the surface. Please check this in each individual case. For degreasing of non-porous surfaces such as metal, and glass, KORASOLV GL is recommended (use undyed crepe paper or similar). 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 stated tack free time. 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 70 oC and >40% humidity. Time taken for cure will depend on the thickness of the joint, humidity and temperature. Increasing the temperature and humidity will accelerate the curing process, do not cure the sealant at or above 70°C as bubbles may form in the sealant and affect the overall physical properties and adhesion. Low temperatures and humidity will retard the curing process. Since curing times progressively increase with the thickness, the sealant depth should be limited to 10 mm. Joints should be left undisturbed for at least 24 hours, but preferably longer to effect sufficient depth of cure. Full cure requires 7 days at thicknesses of 1 - 5 mm and 14 days at thicknesses of 5 - 10 mm.
“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”
