dichtol ESD

1. Preparation

The component to be sealed must be completely free of dirt, foreign bodies (e.g. residual powder), grease and other adhesions. We recommend the use of DIAMANT Cleaner #1417 for this purpose, provided the printing material has sufficient chemical resistance.

2. Application

The product is a 1-component system. Please consider the processing temperatures specified in the technical data. Application on surfaces that are too warm can have a negative effect on the penetration behaviour of the sealer, as can application at temperatures that are too low. The application options are briefly explained below. The choice of a suitable application method depends on the size and accessibility of the component surfaces to be sealed.

Brushing on/rolling
This method is particularly suitable for components that are not to be sealed in all areas and for larger surfaces. Apply the sealer to the surface to be sealed using a suitable brush. Ensure that the sealer is left to work for at least 5 minutes. During this time, the surface must be kept constantly moist, so apply several coats if necessary.

Spraying
This method is particularly suitable for components with very large surfaces that need to be evenly sealed. Use the ready-to-use spray bottle or a suitable paint spray gun and spray the sealer onto the surface to be sealed. To ensure a sufficient contact time of at least 5 minutes, keep the surface moist by spraying several times.

3. Curing

The sealer physically hardens in a few hours. The sealer is dry on the surface after just a few minutes so that the components can be moved again quickly. Curing at an elevated temperature in an oven is not necessary, but can significantly shorten the curing time.
