Information
- Due to modifications to the spare part range, in the case of repair work, accessories must be sealed before assembly (painting) according to the following illustrations.
- The sealing material → SEALING MATERIAL can be applied directly to accessories coated with KTL paint (cathodic dipbath coating).
- The seam seal can be painted over when it has reached approx. 70 % hardness (approx. 4 - 5 h at 20 °C, 50 % relative air humidity. Higher air humidity or dampening with water accelerates the hardening process).
- The hardening can be checked with a nail test. Press a finger nail gently into the hardened sealing mass; if this causes no damage to the sealing mass surface, the seam seal can be painted.
