HOW TO USE
To promote an adequate bond, the two surfaces must be clean and dry; use a cleaning agent from Dow Consumer Solutions. Low temperatures at the time of application may increase the possibility of condensation on the surface, which could reduce the final bond strength.
The adhesive is pressure sensitive, we therefore recommend the application to be carried out at a minimum of 5°C with as high pressure as your process allows (minimum of 1 Bar pressure is recommended)
USABLE LIFE AND STORAGE
The product must be stored in its original packaging in a clean, dry, well ventilated area and under these conditions, the shelf life will be a minimum of 18 months.
