Definition:

• Plastic Cleaner -D 195 850 A1-

Product Description

Plastic Cleaner -D 195 850 A1- is a liquid universal cleaner and thinner with an non-aromatic, low n-hexane content gasoline base. The product contains no chlorinated hydrocarbons, and does not corrode the paint if briefly contacted.

Application Instructions

Application

• The Plastic Cleaner -D 195 850 A1- is mostly used to degrease and clean base surfaces before the application of adhesives or sealants.
• Careful cleaning of the adhesion surfaces is essential for proper adhesion and includes the removal of dust, oil and grease.
• Depending on the composition of the products listed above, the cleaner can also be used to remove impurities and surplus amounts of these materials as well as being used on various base surface protection materials.
• In some cases, the Plastic Cleaner -D 195 850 A1- is also suitable for use as a thinner for certain adhesives/sealants as coating compounds. It should be remembered that these products are normally used undiluted. Thinning is only suitable in some special processes or if a thinner consistency is desired.

Processing

Note

• Before starting to apply, it is necessary to read the safety measures and advice in the safety data sheet.
• Even for products which are not required to be labeled by law, the usual safety measures must be observed for chemical emissions
• Depending on the level of dirt present, the shape and size of the parts to be cleaned, the Plastic Cleaner -D 195 850 A1- can be applied and wiped off with either a brush or a cleaning cloth.
• To avoid contaminating the content of the original canister, the cleaner should either be poured onto the cloth (do not press the cloth onto the opening and tip the canister) or it should be poured into a separate container (tin can etc.).
• Only the amount needed for cleaning should be poured out and the original canister should be closed again immediately.
• The cleaned surfaces should be allowed to dry completely (depending on circumstances 2 - 10 minutes) before the adhesive or sealant is applied.
• Blowing with compressed air can reduce the drying time but in some cases the effect of cleaning can be negated by compressed air with an oil content.
• Base Surfaces with open pores should be allowed to dry for at least 30 minutes before cleaning. When cleaning cut material (for example, when inserting permanently glazed vehicle windows) the processing guidelines of these products must be observed.
