wipe followed with light abrasion (180 grit), and another
solvent wiping to remove abrasive residue. Dry surfaces
thoroughly before applying adhesive.

METHOD OF APPLICATION
HAPs FREE Sealant DC12781 can be applied by ordinary
caulking guns or pressure pumping equipment. Pumping
equipment should be of the follower-plate type and have a
pump ratio of at least 40:1. Cox, Aro, Binks, DeVilbiss,
Graco and Lincoln all produce suitable equipment for
handling this material.
Silaprene HAPs FREE Sealant DC12781 is formulated for
room temperature curing, and curing is initiated when a
majority of the solvent has been evacuated from the bond line.
Strength build-up is very fast in the early stages to give high
holding power, with continued strength build-up over time.
CLEANER AND THINNER
Uncured material can be cleaned up with VMP Naphtha,
Heptane, and Mineral Spirits. Thinning is not recommended.
If a thinner product is deemed necessary for your application,
contact your Royal Adhesives & Sealants salesman.
