Before application the surface should be clean, free of dust, moisture and grease. D-FIX HD is applied to the substrate with a brush or roller. EPDM Bonding Adhesive is installed in a one-sided, wet lay-in application on horizontal surfaces. For vertical surfaces, the adhesive is used in the traditional two-sided application, and the two surfaces are mated only after the adhesive becomes tacky (approx. 10 – 15 minutes). This adhesive is a heat- and moisture-cure product, with the cure time depending upon ambient weather conditions. Bonding must be carried out between 10 to 30 minutes of applying the adhesive and carefully align the two surfaces and join together. Take care not to trap any air and use as much pressure as possible. If bonding to non-absorbent surfaces allow the adhesive to dry for a longer period. This allows more solvent evaporation and reduce chances of bubbling after bonding due to entrapped liquid.
Packing
D-FIX HD is available in 18 L / 5 L metal pails.
Storage
When stored in original, unopened container the average life is 10 to 14 months at 10 to 35°C stored in above-mentioned conditions. Shelf life information is only a recommendation and not a fact of life. The real expiration date highly depends on the history of storage and handling of the accessories. Quality and applicability should thus always be verified: when mixed, product should stir into a smooth and homogeneous blend with no evidence of major clumping or separation/phasing. Once opened, use within 48 hours.
