41 00... Preparation Of Steel Components For Bonding
Surfaces of components made from steel have to be specially prepared to optimize adhesion of the adhesive.
Grind bonding surfaces to a metallic bright-finish.
Clean bonding surfaces with cleaning agent R1 and allow to dry.
Apply K1 adhesive thinly to the bonding surface. A sealed surface must be produced.
Harden adhesive K1 at room temperature or with a radiant heater.
IMPORTANT:
When using radiant heaters, make sure that the object temperature does not exceed 85 °C. Excessively high temperatures will destroy the adhesive.
1 h at an object temperature of 60 °C.
0.5 h at an object temperature of 85 °C.
Check the degree of hardness of the adhesive with a fingernail.
When the adhesive can no longer be pressed in with a finger nail, the component can be bonded with adhesive K2.
