MIXING
Preparing cartridge: 250 ml
|
| 1. Unscrew and remove the cap |
|
| 2. Pull out the plug |
|
| 3. Screw on the static mixer |
|
| 4. Place the cartridge into the application gun ready for use |
Preparing cartridge: 400, 600 & 1500 ml
|
| 1.Unscrew the cap |
|
| 2. Pull out the red plug |
|
| 3. Screw on the static mixer |
|
| 4. Place the cartridge into the application gun ready for use |
When the work is interrupted the static mixer nozzle can remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been released. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Colma Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
