2-Component SIP

Information 

Use the primer within 8 hours. Apply a thin, even coat to the bonded flanges and remove excess primer. Protect surfaces you have already primed from dirt and soiling. Otherwise, the bonded joint may be defective.

Information 

• Primed surfaces can be exposed for up to 3 days before undergoing further processing. 
• Make sure that the surfaces are not contaminated by environmental influences. 
• If the primer is left exposed for more than 3 days, it must be removed and re-applied. 
• For the reasons specified above, we recommend that body parts are bonded immediately after applying the primer. 

1. Prepare bonded flanges for bonding. (See WORKING WITH ADHESIVES )

8. Check primer application.

   Bonded flanges are coated evenly with primer:

   result is OK.

   Remove excess primer with a clean, dry cloth.

   A thin, violet-colored coating of primer is sufficient for the bonded flanges.

   Adhesive flanges are not evenly coated (droplet formation):

   result is not OK.

   Using wet-sandpaper (approx. 200 grain) or abrasive fabric, rub in the primer film while it is still damp on the flange area until an even application of primer is obtained.

   If an even application of primer is not obtained, the bonded flange must be completely cleaned, sanded and primed once again.
