Pretreatment of bonding surfaces made of aluminum and steel 

It is necessary to carefully prepare the bonding surfaces in order to obtain a good bond between the adhesive and surfaces of the parts to be attached.

After removing old adhesive, dirt, rust, paint or oxidation layers from bonding surfaces, grind bonding flange down to bare metal

IMPORTANT On aluminum surfaces use CrNi wire brush.

The mixed primer can only be applied to the bare flange area, when it has been cleaned previously with a brush or lent-free rag saturated.

After use, dispose of cleaning rag as special wastes due to residue of cleaning agent.

IMPORTANT Do not touch cleaned areas without gloves (transfer of sweat from hands).

Primer 

IMPORTANT Metal mating surfaces require pretreatment with primer for bonding. This primer is required to ensure surface cleanliness as well as improved long-term stability of the bonds.

Bond primed surfaces immediately after applying the primer to prevent corrosion and contamination on the surfaces.

Thinly apply mixed primer to prepared surfaces with a flat brush.

Work mixed primer into surface with unused abrasive paper from the package.

IMPORTANT The result is positive when a uniform film of primer is present. If this is not the case, repeat pretreatment.

The bonding operations can be started as soon as the primer has been wiped off with a lint-free paper towel after obtaining a positive result.

NOTES Always observe the specified operation steps and work instructions given in the adhesive kit. Otherwise adhesion problems may occur.
