dichtol AM UV Protection

Storage / Shelf life

Store in the original, unopened container in a dry, cool and frost-free place (+5°C to +30°C). Shelf life 5 years.

Processing / Preparation

Remove dirt residues, foreign bodies, grease, liquids and other substances. Crack testing agents can negatively affect the penetration behavior.

Application

The product is a 1-component system. Please observe the application temperatures specified in the technical data

Brushing & spraying

Apply dichtol crosswise in 4 working steps at intervals of approx. 1 minute. Keep damp on the surface for at least 5 minutes
for at least 5 minutes to ensure sufficient time for deep penetration.

Injecting & filling

Pour dichtol into the area to be sealed (e.g. blind hole, threaded hole, cooling channel, etc.) and allow to react for at least 5 minutes.
for at least 5 minutes. Then pour off excess material if necessary.

Immersion

Immerse the component to be treated in dichtol and remove after a reaction time of at least 5 minutes. Make sure
Please ensure that the component drips off properly. It is recommended to move the component while dripping to prevent
deposits of dichtol from forming in undercuts or cavities.

Curing

dichtol AM UV Protection dries physically in a few hours (approx. 1 hour per mm of wall thickness). Due to the fast drying of Dichtol, it is possible to use the components again after a short time. See table “Technical data”.

Notes for 3D printing

We have made the experience that 3D printed components are sometimes very different in terms of microstructure or pore formation.
