- General information on handling rubber seal profiles
:
- If seals reveal partly detached protective film on delivery, they must not be bonded.
- Store seals at 15°C to 25°C.
- If, during the handling, the protective film has come off before bonding, it can still be bonded.
- Bonding at room and object temperature >20°C. Temperatures between 40 and 50°C significantly increase initial adhesion.
- Seals, which are subjected to temperatures above 80°C after gluing, will be very difficult to remove.
- Damage pattern and repair
- 2.1 Partially detached bond (rubber-adhesive tape or adhesive tape-paint)
- Up to 120 mm for retouching without auxiliary resources
