Pretreatment of aluminum and steel surfaces to be bonded 

It is necessary to carefully prepare the surfaces to be glued in order to obtain a good connection between the glue and surfaces of the parts to be connected.

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

IMPORTANT On aluminum surfaces use CrNi wire brush.

Apply mixed primer only on bare flange areas, if they were cleaned previously with a brush or lint-free rag soaked with the cleaning agent provided.

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 connections require pretreatment with primer for bonding. This primer is required to ensure surface cleanliness as well as improved long-term stability of bonding.

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

Apply mixed primer in thin layer with a flat brush to prepared surface to be glued.

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

IMPORTANT The result is positive when a uniform coat of primer is visible. If this is not the case, repeat treatment.

The gluing operation 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 work steps and work instructions given in the gluing set!
