ARO-SEAL® 1158 HYBRID POLYMER ADHESIVE

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Aro-Seal® 1158 is a one component, solvent and water free, elastic construction adhesive based on hybrid polymers. It can be used for bonding and sealing a wide range of substrates in both structural and non-structural applications.

It is suitable for use in low-movement joints in construction, automotive, marine and aerospace industries where a tough flexible rubber is required. joints may accommodate movement up to 25%. It is often used in composite door manufacturing applications.

FEATURED PROPERTIES

• High bond strength on nearly all surfaces
• Excellent adhesion to porous surfaces & PVC
• No bubble formation within sealant
• Good colour stability
• Good resistance to UV
• Acid, isocynate and solvent free
• Resistance to most chemicals
• Overpaintable with all water based paints

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION

Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded are smooth, clean and free from dust or other deposits.  Recommended application temperature is within the range of 1°C to 30°C.

Insert the cartridge into a suitable applicator, e.g. a skeleton gun, or pneumatic applicator.  Slit the cap and screw on the nozzle.  If required, slit the nozzle to increase the size of the orifice.  Dispense the bead of adhesive on one side of the substrates to be bonded.  Bring substrates together and apply pressure to ensure full contact.

For porous surfaces Aro-Seal® 1109 Primer may be used to improve the cure, where preliminary adhesion tests indicate that it would be advisable. 

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Aro-Seal® 1158 should be stored in the original cartridges in a cool, dry place, at a temperature range of between 5°C and 25°C. In these conditions it has a storage life of at least 12 months.
