Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles for optimal adhesion. Lightly roughening smooth surfaces can improve bonding.
- Application: Apply the adhesive to one or both surfaces, depending on the application. A thin, even layer is usually sufficient.
- Assembly: Join the surfaces within the recommended open time. Clamping or temporary support may be necessary during the initial setting phase to ensure proper contact and alignment.
- Curing: While the adhesive sets in minutes, allow sufficient time for full curing according to the manufacturer's instructions. Curing time can vary depending on temperature and humidity.
- Compatibility: PU5 is compatible with a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, concrete, and various foams. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Care: Store the adhesive in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Clean up uncured adhesive with a solvent like acetone.
