Technical Information
HellermannTyton uses different types of adhesives for self-adhesive
bases: acrylate and synthetic rubber. These differ in the operating
temperature range and the 'pull off' force of the adhesive. Synthetic
rubber has an excellent initial grip, allowing for almost immediate use.
Acrylate adhesive has less initial grip, so there is a need to wait for a few
hours before use, but has a higher 'pull off' force than synthetic rubber.
This enables a permanent fixing lasting months or even years. To use
these adhesives the surface must be dry, and free of dust, oil, oxides,
parting agents and other impurities. For this the use of isopropane /
water (50/50) is recommended. After cleaning allow the surface to dry
completely. Peel off the protective backing on the self-adhesive base,
ensuring the adhesive is not touched. Apply the part to the surface and
press down firmly for several seconds.
Instructions for use
1. The surface must be dry, free from
dust, oil, oxides, parting agents and
other impurities. The surface to be
glued should be cleaned using a
clean cloth and isopropanol / water
(50/50). When using other appropriate
cleaning agents, ensure that they do
not attack the surface nor leave any
residues.
2. After cleaning allow the surface to
air-dry completely.

3. Peel off protective backing and ensure
the adhesive area is not touched.
4. Press down firmly on the base with
the thumbs for several seconds.
5. Depending on the type of adhesive,
wait for several minutes (synthetic
rubber) or hours (acrylate) so that the
adhesive can bond completely with
the surface.
