Dekalin Adhesive Set black or white

Dekasyl MS-5

Dekasyl MS-5 is a strong adhesive, which is ideal for the elastic connection of components due to its adhesive power and initial strength. This makes it perfect for installing solar or satellite systems, windows, solar module spoilers, semi-flexible solar modules or roof ducts.

Application

In order to achieve good results, the correct application of the glue is essential.

Dekasyl MS-5 sticks to many materials such as e.g. Aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, zinc, copper, brass, powder coated metal and most unprimed painted metal surfaces. However, these must be dry and free of dust and grease. Dekaclean is recommended for cleaning.

Prior sanding of the adhesive surfaces is only necessary for special substrates such as ceramic-sealed paintwork and GRP.
If the components to be bonded are exposed to high thermal and physical loads, a primer such as Dekavator is still recommended. But beware. The decavator needs a ventilation time of at least 30 minutes!
Dekasyl MS-5 should be processed at a temperature of +5°C to 35°C.

The materials to be bonded  must be assembled within 15 minutes (at 20°C/50% relative humidity).
If the adhesive is used for sealing, the smoothing joint must be removed within 12 minutes (at 20°C/50% relative humidity). If the temperatures are higher, the processing time is reduced. After 10 minutes (at 20°C/50% relative humidity) the adhesive can be painted over with most industrial paints.
For similar materials, an adhesive thickness of approx. 2mm is recommended, but the bond is exposed to large thermal expansion of different materials, such as e.g. Solar holder on the vehicle roof, you have to increase the adhesive thickness.

Decavator

The Dekavator creates a chemical bridge between the substrate and the material to be bonded. It should be used on materials with low surface tension or when the composition of the substrate is unknown.

It is recommended to use the Dekavator on the following surfaces:

• Pretreatment of aluminium, steel, copper and brass 
• Pre-treatment of powder-coated metal 
• Pre-treatment of painted metal (the compatibility of the solvent with the substrate should be checked beforehand) 
• Pretreatment of (ceramic coated) glass 
• Pretreatment of polyester (GRP) 
• Pretreatment of ABS
• Pretreatment of PVC

Dekaclean cleaning cloths

In order to achieve a good gluing result, it is essential to clean the materials to be glued beforehand. Dekaclean reliably removes the grease and oil on the material without leaving any residue and thus forms the basis for the Dakavator.
