Substrates

Substrate Condition:
The surface must be rigid, clean, dry, free of dust and grease

Substrate Preparation:
Porous surfaces in water loaded applications should be primed with primer 150. Prepare
non-porous surfaces with a activator or cleaner. The surfaces should be degreased
before bonding them together. While producing plastics to bonding or sealing. For
optimum adhesion use of surface activator is recommended.

Substrate Types:
Dolphin Fix & Seal All Purpose has a good adhesion to following substrates: all usual
building substrates, concretes, aluminium, lacquered wood, steel, AlMgSi1, electrolytic
galvanized steel, AlCuMg1, flame galvanized steel, AlMg3, steel, ST1403, polystyrene,
polycarbonate (Makrolon®), PVC, ABS, Polyamide, PMMA, fiberglass reinforced epoxy,
Polyester. Dolphin Fix & seal All Purpose has no good adhesion or is not suitable for PR,
PP, PTFE (Teflon®) bituminous substrates, copper or copper containing materials such
as bronze and brass Bonding plastics like PMMA (e.g. Plexi®glass), polycarbonate (e.g.
Makrolon® or Lexan®) in stress loaded applications can give rise to stress cracking and
crazing in these substrates.
The use of Dolphin Fix & Seal All Purpose is not recommended in these applications. We
recommend a preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on every surface.

Health and Safety Recommendations

Take the usual labor hygiene into account.
Consult label and material safety data sheet for more information.
Dangerous. Respect the precautions for use.

Remarks

• Dolphin Fix & Seal All-purpose may be overpainted with water based paints,
  however due to thelarge number of paints and varnishes available we strongly
  suggest a compatibility test before application.
• The drying time of alkyd resin based paintsmay increase.
• Do not use on natural stones like marble, granite,….(staining)
• Dolphin Fix & seal All-purpose can be applied to a wide variety of substrates. Due
  to the fact thatspecific substrates such as plastics, like polycarbonate, etc. may
  differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, we recommend preliminary
  compatibility test.
•  Dolphin Fix & seal All-purpose cannot be used as a glazingsealant.
•  A total absence of UV can cause a colour change of the sealant
• The sanitary formula should not replace regular cleaning of the joint, Excessive
  contamination, deposits or soap residues will stimulate the development fungi
• When using different reactive joint sealants, the first joint sealant must be
  completely hardened before the next one is applied
•  Not suitable for bonding aquariums
• Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible
• Dolphin Fix & Seal All Purpose has a good UV resistance but can discolour under
  extreme conditions or after long UV exposure
• Discolouration due to chemicals, high, temperatures, UV radiation may occur
• Contact with bitumen, tar or other plasticizer releasing materials such as EPDM,
  neoprene butyl, etc. is to be avoided since it can give rise to discolouration and
  loss of adhesion.
