1. - General information on handling rubber seal profiles:

- If seals reveal partly detached protective film on delivery, they must not be bonded.

- Store seals at 15 °C to 25 °C.

- If, during the handling, the protective film has come off before bonding, it can still be bonded.

- Bonding at room and object temperature >20 °C. Temperatures between 40 and 50 °C significantly increase initial adhesion.

- Seals, which are subjected to temperatures above 80 °C after gluing, will be very difficult to remove.

2. - Damage pattern and repair

2.1 - Partially detached bond (rubber-adhesive tape or adhesive tape-paint)

- Up to 120 mm for retouching without auxiliary resources

- Up to 200 mm repaired with pressing-on tools on straight surfaces





2.2 - Larger defects (mechanical damage and larger separations of seal)

- Complete replacement of rubber seal necessary





3. - Checking rubber seal

- Check the bonded seals for correct positioning and perfect adhesion. The bonding can be checked by pressing back the sealing lip.

- The force required to peel off the seal immediately after gluing must be greater than 10 N/cm.
