Application Method
  • Preparation: Processing For some substrates the use of mechanical pretreatment and/or cleaner or primer is necessary to achieve good adhesion. Refer to the product properties section of this data sheet for special surface requirements and suitable adhesion promoters.
  • Processing: Low temperatures can cause a temporary increase in viscosity resulting in reduced extrusion and slower curing rates.
  • Surface Requirements: Dry, clean, free of grease
  • Surface Cleaning: Use Körasolv GL, Körasolv PU, or Körasolv W
  • Application Method:
    • Cartridge dispenser
    • Dispensing system
  • Cleaning: Use Körasolv GL or Körasolv PU
Suitable Substrates
  • Various galvanized steels
