51 00... Notes On Component Bonding Adhesive Tape
- General notes
- Bonding at room and object temperature of >+18.
- Newly painted parts may only be bonded after a drying time of at least 24 hours.
- Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. Components must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
- Do not touch bonding area.
- It is not the length of time that pressure is applied but rather the level of pressure applied that is crucial.
- Detaching the adhesive tape after pressing destroys the adhesive layer.
- After being pressed on gently, adhesive tape can be pulled off again up to 3 times.
- Auxiliary materials and tools
- Cleaning agent R1 or R2
- Spirit, fluff-free cleaning cloths
- Pressure roller
- Preparations
- Remove all remnants of adhesive or clean new part thoroughly
- Clean the areas to be bonded with spirit immediately before bonding to remove silicone and grease residues.
NOTE: Observe ventilation time ≥1 minute. - Bonding

- Press down adhesive tape over entire bonding area.
- Continue with Point 4.2
* Liner is the protective film on the adhesive tape
- Components with pre-fitted adhesive tape
- Pull off liner on adhesive side.
- Align component in correct position on vehicle.
