Technical Information

HellermannTyton uses different types of adhesives for self-adhesive

bases: acrylate and synthetic rubber. These differ in the operating

temperature range and the 'pull off' force of the adhesive. Synthetic

rubber has an excellent initial grip, allowing for almost immediate use.

Acrylate adhesive has less initial grip, so there is a need to wait for a few

hours before use, but has a higher 'pull off' force than synthetic rubber.

This enables a permanent fixing lasting months or even years. To use

these adhesives the surface must be dry, and free of dust, oil, oxides,

parting agents and other impurities. For this the use of isopropane /

water (50/50) is recommended. After cleaning allow the surface to dry

completely. Peel off the protective backing on the self-adhesive base,

ensuring the adhesive is not touched. Apply the part to the surface and

press down firmly for several seconds.

Instructions for use

1. The surface must be dry, free from

dust, oil, oxides, parting agents and

other impurities. The surface to be

glued should be cleaned using a

clean cloth and isopropanol / water

(50/50). When using other appropriate

cleaning agents, ensure that they do

not attack the surface nor leave any

residues.

2. After cleaning allow the surface to

air-dry completely.

3. Peel off protective backing and ensure

the adhesive area is not touched.

4. Press down firmly on the base with

the thumbs for several seconds.

5. Depending on the type of adhesive,

wait for several minutes (synthetic

rubber) or hours (acrylate) so that the

adhesive can bond completely with

the surface.
