Processing Information

Process

  • Particularly suited to processes involving hot press and cure within the mould
  • Cilbond 63W (R-7159) must be completely dry before moulding. Apply Cilbond 63W (R-7159) to pre-heated metal parts (35 -50°C). Metals can also be put in an oven after coating, but do not exceed 50°C. If applying to unheated metal parts, the ambient temperature should ideally be above 20°C and allow films to dry for at least 60 minutes.
  • Pre-baking could reduce penetration into the friction compound, and so is not recommended for brake pad bonding.

Storage Condition
  • Cilbond® 63W should be stored / transported between 0 °C and 30 °C.
  • If stored above or below these temperatures, then we recommend validating the material to ensure it still meets end-use require- ments. If stored below -5 °C, warm slowly and then stir with a high shear to form a smooth and homoge- nous mix.
  • If stored above 40 °C, then cool as soon as possible, re-check that the product is with original specification and use with 1 month.
