Preparation of substrates:
- Surfaces to be bonded should be cleaned of all dust, oils or other contaminates. A solvent wipe is often adequate. Bonds to rigid surfaces are usually improved by a solvent wipe followed with light abrasion (180 grit), and another solvent wiping to remove abrasive residue. Dry surfaces thoroughly before applying adhesive.
Method of application:
- Royal Seal Adhesive/Sealant can be applied by ordinary caulking guns or pressure pumping equipment. Pumping equipment should be of the follower-plate type and have a pump ratio of at least 40:1. Cox, Aro, Binks, DeVilbiss, Graco and Lincoln all produce suitable equipment for handling this material.
- Apply a bead of Adhesive/Sealant to one surface at temperatures above 40°F. When used as an adhesive between two non-porous surfaces, solvent must escape through the edges of the bond line. Clamping, taping or use of mechanical fasteners to hold parts in place until Adhesive/Sealant develops strength is recommended.
- After 24 hours at room temperature, the product is considered self-holding. The use of a heat lamp at 150°F for 1 hour will speed solvent evaporation and accelerate strength build-up.
- Silaprene Royal Seal Adhesive/Sealant is formulated for room temperature curing, and curing is initiated when a majority of the solvent has been evacuated from the bond line. Strength build-up is very fast in the early stages to give high holding power, with continued strength build-up over time.
Method of application:
Uncured material can be cleaned up with VMP Naptha, Heptane, and Mineral Spirits. Thinning is not recommended. If a thinner product is deemed necessary for your application, contact your Royal Adhesives & Sealants salesman.
