Soudaseal 250XF is versatile and suitable for bonding and sealing on a wide range of building substrates, including treated wood, PVC, various plastics, and metals such as AlCuMg1, AlMg3, AlMgSi1, stainless steel, electro-galvanized steel, steel ST1403, and hot-dip galvanized steel.
The substrates should be rigid, clean, dry, and free of dust and grease. The product also adheres well to plastics like polystyrene, polycarbonate (Makrolon®), PVC, polyamide, fibreglass-reinforced epoxy, and polyester. However, bonding plastics such as PMMA (Plexi® glass) and polycarbonate (Makrolon® or Lexan®) in stress-loaded applications can lead to stress cracking and crazing. Therefore, Soudaseal 250XF is not recommended for these applications.
It is also unsuitable for PE, PP, PTFE (e.g., Teflon®), bituminous substrates, copper, or copper-containing materials such as bronze and brass.
A preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on each surface is strongly recommended.
Proper surface preparation is essential to achieve a strong and durable bond with Soudaseal 250XF.
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. For porous surfaces, particularly in water-loaded applications, use Soudal Primer 150 to enhance adhesion.
Non-porous surfaces should be prepared using Soudal Surface Activator or Soudal Cleaner & Degreaser to remove any contaminants that could affect the bond. Plastics often contain releasing agents, processing aids, or protective agents (like protection foils) that must be removed prior to bonding or sealing.
For optimum adhesion, the use of Surface Activator is recommended.
To apply Soudaseal 250XF effectively, follow these steps:
Preparing the Cartridge: Cut the nozzle of the cartridge at a 45-degree angle to the desired bead size. Insert the cartridge into a caulking gun.
Applying the Adhesive: Apply the adhesive in uniform strips or dots, spaced approximately every 15 cm, on one of the substrates. Ensure to apply an adhesive dot or strip on the corners and edges of panels. When applying the adhesive, avoid creating a closed circumference; instead, opt for an interrupted pattern to allow for optimal bonding and curing.
Bonding the Substrates: Press the surfaces firmly together immediately after applying the adhesive, ensuring full contact. Use a rubber hammer to tamp down the bonded substrate and ensure proper adhesion. If necessary, provide support to the bonded materials until the adhesive sets.
Curing Time: The adhesive typically becomes hand-tight in about 20 minutes on absorbent and porous substrates with a thin adhesive layer and can be loaded after about 3 hours. Note that thicker adhesive layers or applications on non-absorbent substrates may extend the curing time. The optimal bond thickness for this product is at least 2 mm to allow the elastic properties to fully manifest.
After applying Soudaseal 250XF and bonding the substrates, ensure any excess adhesive is smoothed out before it begins to cure. The adhesive can be painted with water-based paints once it has cured. Due to the wide variety of paints and varnishes available, it is advisable to perform a compatibility test before application. Note that alkyd resin-based paints may have an increased drying time when applied over the adhesive.
Immediate cleaning after use is advisable to prevent the adhesive from curing on tools and surfaces. Use Soudal Swipex Cleaning Wipes to remove any uncured adhesive residue. If the adhesive has already cured, mechanical removal will be necessary, and Soudal Sealant Remover can assist in this process. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning products for effective removal.
Conduct a preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on every surface, especially plastics like PMMA (Plexi® glass) and polycarbonate (Makrolon® or Lexan®), as stress-loaded applications can cause stress cracking and crazing. Soudaseal 250XF is not recommended for these specific plastics under stress-loaded conditions.
The product is not suitable for bonding or sealing PE, PP, PTFE (e.g., Teflon®), bituminous substrates, copper, or copper-containing materials such as bronze and brass.
