1. Prepare the metal surface properly by removing completely oil, grease and dirt.
2. Blast the surface with grit blasting steel so that the surface roughness is greater than 15 µm.
3. For aluminum surfaces, we recommend the use of aluminum oxide as abrasive.
4. Clean again the substrate to remove dust from blasting residues.
5. If specified, the metal part can be phosphatized, galvanized, chromate conversion treated or KTL before applying adhesive.

Agitation: We recommend stirring Thinkbond 942 before application to avoid settling.

Brushing: Application by brushing is normally undertaken without further dilution, but for coating large areas, dilution with MEK improves flow and speed of application.

Spraying: We recommend an HVLP gun using 1.5 Bar air-pressure and a nozzle size of 1-1.5mm. For this application, we recommend diluting between 50 and 100% v/v.

Roller coating: Dilute to 35-45 seconds on a DIN 4 or Ford 4 cup at 25°C for most roller application processes. Dilution with a high boiling solvent like MPA may be necessary to achieve the best finish.

Drying: Dry the film between 10 and 30 minutes at room temperature. If necessary to reduce drying time, we recommend using forced air for 5 minutes at 100°C maximum.

Thickness of application layer: The film obtained is colorless. The layer thickness must be between 15 and 25 µm. For severe environments or dynamic fatigue applications, use ≥25 microns.

Storage: Keep container tightly closed during storage and always keep away from heat sources. Storing in an environment below 10°C increases the shelf life of the adhesive.
