ADHESIVE PRIMER CONSUMPTION

DESIGN OF ADHESIVE LAYER

GEOMETRY

The elastic adhesive can only fully develop

its positive properties (movement com-

pensation, peeling and impact resistance)

if the adhesive layer geometry is correct.

Above all, this means keeping to a

minimum layer thickness that must be

individually suited to the bond. A layer

thickness of 2-3 mm has proved best for

most applications. Thicker layers may be

required where considerable movement

is expected.

Depths over 20 mm should be avoided

with standard Sikaflex® grades because

the adhesive would take too long to

harden.

́́ The right primer for the material surface is used

8 7.75 ́́ The primer is completely dry and cured before bonding

9 6.90 i.e. watch the evaporation time
