Fix All Crystal

Product info Fix All adhesive universal transparent:

FIX ALL CRYSTAL is a clear - setting high - performance sealant / adhesive based on hybrid polymer for elastic bonding in the general, automotive, aerospace and construction industries. Soudal Fix All Crystal is a high performance MS polymer sealant / adhesive for many applications.

Very easy to process
After curing permanently elastic
Almost odorless
Not corrosive
Compensates for unevenness and material tensions
Very good, mostly primerless adhesion on almost all surfaces
Also sticks on damp surfaces
Solvent, isocyanate and silicone free
Very well paint-compatible according to DIN 52452-A1, can be over-painted wet-on-wet.

Fields of application Fix All transparent:

Tension-free structural bonding, e.g. between metals, plastics (except PE, PP, PTFE and silicones) and hardwoods.
Sealing and bonding applications in the construction industry
Sealing and gluing in metal structures
Stress-free bonding / sealing in wagon, container, ship, body, vehicle, caravan and apparatus construction
Seals in air conditioning and ventilation
Glass bonding indoors (Do not use as glazing sealant!)

Chemical resistance:

Good: water, aliphatic solvents, dilute inorganic acids and alkalis, oils and grease.

Bad: aromatic solvents, concentrated acids and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Substrates:

FIX ALL CRYSTAL has excellent, mostly primerless, adhesion to a variety of substrates, e.g. Metals (steel, AIMgSi1, brass, zinc, steel ST 1403, electro galvanized and fire galvanized steel, AICuMg1), plastics (polystyrene, polycarbonate, PVC, polyamide and GRP - not on ABS, PE, PMMA, PP, PTFE and silicones), polystyrene , Cork, enamel, concrete, glass, HPL and wood.
Attention: PMMA and polycarbonate may only be glued without tension, otherwise they may cause stress cracks. For polycarbonate, we generally recommend preliminary tests. As a general rule, it is important for plastics that the release agents used for manufacturing or protective films used for transport must be removed without residue prior to bonding, as these will in some cases considerably impair adhesion. Especially with porous natural stones, such as Sandstone, Carrara, Jura etc. may cause staining and / or adhesion problems. Plastics containing plasticizers (eg soft PVC, butyl rubber, EPDM and APTK) can cause incompatibilities such as discoloration or loss of adhesion. Here a suitability in the system is to be examined. The adhesive surfaces must be stable, clean, free of dust and grease. Dry substrates are particularly suitable. FIX ALL CRYSTAL also sticks to damp surfaces and even under water. However, the adhesion achieved can be lower than that on dry and cleaned substrates.
Pretreatment: pretreat porous substrates with higher water load, if necessary with PRIMER 150. For all smooth surfaces we recommend pre-cleaning, degreasing and activating with SURFACE ACTIVATOR.
It is advisable to perform an adhesion and compatibility test on every surface first.

Processing:

Attachment method: manual gun, air pressure gun or battery gun.

Working temperature:
+ 0 ° C (frost-free) to + 40 ° C (ambient temperature)
+ 0ºC (frost-free) to + 35ºC (adhesive surface temperature)
The curing is done by humidity at room temperature from outside to inside and slows down over time. At low temperatures and / or low humidity, curing is significantly delayed!
Cleaning: with SURFACE CLEANER, SWIPEX or turpentine substitute before curing, then with SILICONE REMOVER or mechanically removable.
Smoothing: with smoother or natural stone smoothing agent against skin formation
Repair possibility: with FIX ALL CRYSTAL

Remarks:

FIX ALL CRYSTAL is paint-compatible. According to the relevant standards (for example, DIN 18540), elastic sealants should not be overcoated over the entire surface, since tensions and movements may cause crack formation in the non-elastic coating. Alkyd resin paints may have a drying delay of the paint. Due to the large number of paint systems available on the market, we recommend appropriate compatibility and adhesion tests in advance. Any remaining soap residue from the smoothing water must be removed before painting, as this will reduce the paint adhesion.
FIX ALL CRYSTAL can yellow and become brittle under extreme climatic conditions. Do not use in case of permanent water stress. Not suitable for building joints, expansion joints.

Storage:

12 months from date of production in unopened packaging in a cool (+ 5ºC to + 25ºC) and dry storage. Close off the drums and consume them at short notice.

Packaging:

290 ml PE cartridge (12 per carton)

Colour:
