GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Directions for use
1. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and
free from grease.
2. Moisture curing begins immediately after the product is
exposed to the atmosphere, therefore parts to be
assembled should be mated within a few minutes after the
product is dispensed.
3. The bond should be allowed to cure (e.g. seven days),
before subjecting to heavy service loads.
4. Excess material can be easily wiped away with non-polar
solvents.
5. Excess cured material can be removed with a knife or
single edge razor blade..
