1. General information on handling rubber seal profiles 

• If seals reveal partly detached protective film on delivery, they must not be bonded.
• Store seals at 15°C to 25°C.
• If, during the handling, the protective film has come off before bonding, it can still be bonded.
• Bonding at room and object temperature >20°C. Temperatures between 40 and 50°C significantly increase initial adhesion.
• Seals, which are subjected to temperatures above 80°C after gluing, will be very difficult to remove.

2. Damage pattern and repair 

3. Checking rubber seal 

• Check the bonded seals for correct positioning and perfect adhesion.

  The bonding can be checked by pressing back the sealing lip.

• The force required to peel off the seal immediately after gluing must be greater than 10 N/cm.
