51 00... Notes on bonding/attaching components with double-sided adhesive tape

  1. General notes 
    • Bonding at room and object temperature of 18 to 25°C.
    • Newly painted parts may only be bonded after a drying time of at least 24 hours.
    • Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. Components must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
    • Do not touch bonding area.
    • It is not the length of time that pressure is applied but rather the level of pressure applied that is crucial.
    • Detaching the adhesive tape after pressing destroys the adhesive layer.
    • After being pressed on gently, adhesive tape can be pulled off again up to 3 times.
  2. Auxiliary materials and tools 
    • Spirit, adhesive remover
    • Fluff-free cleaning cloths
    • Pressure roller
  3. Preparations 
    • Remove all remnants of adhesive or clean new part thoroughly
    • Clean the areas to be bonded immediately before bonding to remove silicone and grease residues.
    NOTE: Observe ventilation time ≥ 1 minute.
  4. Bonding 
  1. 4.1 Components without pre-fitted adhesive tape
    • Pull off liner from adhesive tape
    • Position adhesive tape on component and stick on
    • Press down adhesive tape over entire bonding area
    • Continue with Point 4.2

    Liner is the protective film on the adhesive tape

  2. 4.2 Components with pre-fitted adhesive tape
    • Pull off liner from adhesive side (if bonding area is large, do not pull off liner completely)
    • Align component in correct position on vehicle
    • Press down component over entire bonding area

    Liner is the protective film on the adhesive tape
