1 Storage and processing of all consumables:
Dry at 15 ° - 25 °C.
2 Expiry date of adhesive:
Repair kit and glue cartridges are marked with a date (expiry).
Date (1) refers to the calendar week and year (KW/JJJJ).
The adhesive cannot be used after this date (1).
3 Hardening of adhesive:
The adhesive hardens by reacting with air humidity at room temperature.
After 7 minutes the adhesive bead forms a skin which can no longer guarantee a perfect bond.
At ambient temperatures above 23 °C and 50 % relative air humidity (hot countries), the adhesive open time is shortened to approx. 5 minutes (skin formation time).
A relative air humidity of < 30% significantly slows hardening.
The adhesive hardening process is interrupted completely at ambient temperatures below 5 °C. In this event, there will be no increase in the strength of the bonded connection.
3.1 Minimum hardening time
Minimum hardening time is reached beginning at 22 °C and 38 % relative air humidity.
- 1 hour, vehicles without front passenger airbag (after which vehicle can be moved).
- 2 hours, vehicles with front passenger airbag in countries without mandatory seat belt usage.
The vehicle can be transferred to the customer after a 1-hour hardening time with the following warning:
Once the windscreen glass has been bonded, all occupants must travel with their seat belts attached for 1 hour.
