Best Practices for 3M Ribbon Sealant PF5423
-
Surface Preparation
All surfaces to which 3M™ Weatherban™ Ribbon Sealant PF 5423 is applied should be free from dust, dirt, grease or other contamination.
-
Application
Temperature of the sealant and surfaces to be bonded should be 40°F (4°C) or above.
Weatherban PF 5423 is supplied in roll form on a liner. Lay or press the sealant in place, remove and discard the liner. Weatherban PF 5423 has sufficient tack to adhere to most surfaces at temperatures as low as 40°F (4°C).
Easy hand layup – no special equipment needed.
-
Clean-Up
Cleanup can be accomplished with a solvent such as 3M™ Scotch-Grip™ Solvent No. 2 or 3M™ Citrus Base Industrial Cleaner.
Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
