Installation Guide
- Clean the bonding surfaces
Remove dust, oil, grease, moisture and other contaminants. - Check substrate compatibility
Confirm that the substrates are suitable for LSE bonding and conduct application testing where necessary. - Prepare the tape
Slit or die-cut the tape according to the required dimensions. - Apply the first side
Remove the liner and apply the tape evenly to the first substrate. - Apply sufficient pressure
Press the tape firmly over the complete bonding area to establish good surface contact. - Remove the remaining liner
Avoid touching or contaminating the exposed adhesive. - Join the second substrate
Align the components carefully and press them together. - Allow bonding to develop
Avoid excessive mechanical stress immediately after assembly and allow sufficient time for adhesion development.
Storage
- Store in the original packaging.
- Keep in a clean, dry and well-ventilated environment.
- Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Avoid contamination, moisture and dust.
- Keep the adhesive surface protected until application.
- Store rolls in a stable position to prevent deformation.
- Follow the latest manufacturer’s storage recommendations for the applicable product version.
