How to use

• Application Temperature: Should be between 5℃ and 30℃. Higher or lower temperatures can impact cure speed and adhesive performance.
• Surface Preparation: It's essential to clean substrates before application. Aerok 8040 will often require abrasion to maximise performance.

Typical applications

• Large-scale assembly: Due to the extended working time, Aerok 8040 is ideal for bonding large materials. The working time allows for repositioning so that materials can be put in the exact right place before curing takes place.
• Component Assembly in harsh conditions: Given the complexity and precision required in aerospace parts, Aerok 8040's long open time ensures accurate positioning and structural bonding of intricate components even in conditions that experience exposure to weathering and chemicals.
