Best Practices for Henkel Loctite SI 5900
-
Surface Preparation
For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.
-
Curing
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.
The bond should be allowed to cure (e.g. seven days), before subjecting to heavy service loads.
-
Clean-Up
Excess material can be easily wiped away with non-polar solvents.
