Description
- Recommended to abrade where possible, there may be some instances where aesthetics or production parameters do not allow for this secondary operation after the powder coat paint process.
- When bonding to powder coat overspray there are 2 main considerations regarding the surface
- Low surface energy to adhere to
- Rough, uneven surface for the adhesive to wet out.
- MS4LSE tape is a high initial and ultimate adhesion to low surface energy substrates and specially formulated adhesive system that wets out and provides superior adhesion to irregular substrates
- Clean with a non-residual solvent such as IPA surface cleaner.
- Apply MS4LSE tape to the acrylic panel.
- Peel back the filmic liner and position the acrylic panel.
- Remove fully the liner and apply firm pressure by means of a roller.
- After application bond strength will increase as the adhesive flows into and wets out the surface. 60% strength will be achieved in 20 mins, 90 % after 24 hours and 100% after 72 hours.
