General Information
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Porsche Panamera and 2022 Porsche Panamera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Toxic substances
- Danger of poisoning or suffocation
- Danger of burns to the eyes and skin
→ Ventilate the work area well.
→ Never ingest or inhale.
→ Read specific information on the Hazard Sheet.
→ Wear personal protective gear.
→ Do not smoke, eat or drink in the work area.
Information
- Apply sparingly since the volume of the foam filler will expand by approx. 50-100% in open areas and by approx. 100-200% in cavities. Approx. 0.25 litres of foam volume is produced per second of foam time (free-foaming) .
- The foam filler is silver-grey .
- Remove fresh foam residues immediately using PU cleaner. Hardened foam residues can only be removed mechanically afterwards .
- Always remove foam from the can following activation .
Information
- In addition to this manual, observe the relevant job descriptions for body repairs!
Information
- The vehicle, components and adhesives must be brought to processing temperature (acclimatised) before starting work. The processing temperature must be maintained for 30 minutes before starting to work on the bonding surfaces .
- Bonding surfaces must be free of oil, dirt, moisture and paint and oxide coatings .
- Do not touch the cleaned surfaces in order to avoid transferring sweat from your hands or dirt to the bonding surfaces .
- Silicone and Teflon sprays cannot be used anywhere in the workshop area .
Information
- Process the adhesive within the processing time. The adhesive must be applied and the body part must be joined within this time period. Any resistance welding or mechanical joining procedures (e.g. riveting, screwing) to be carried out in the bonding area must also be performed within this time period .
- Do not put pressure on bonded parts until hardening is complete!
Information
During cold periods, overnight or in cold countries, appropriate steps must be taken to ensure that the minimum hardening temperature is reached.
- Optimise heating system settings, e.g. deactivate night-time lowering of temperature .
- Keep doors and windows closed; avoid draughts .
- Install auxiliary heaters in the body repair area .
