Substrate

Suitable substrates:

All common exterior plastic car parts

PP, PP/EPDM, ABS, SAN, PC, PA, PUR-RIM, R-TPU, TPO, PBTP, PVC

PUR, PUR flexible foam.

UP-GF (fibreglass).

Substrate pre-treatment:

The substrate must be free of release agents.

Before cleaning plastic parts, temper them for 60 minutes at +60 °C to “sweat out” the release agents.

–	Clean with anti-static plastic cleaner -LVM 001 001 A2- or with the milder slow-drying silicone remover -LVM 020 100 A5-.

Note

The effort required for the necessary cleaning depends on the type and quantity of the release agent used. It is recommended to use an emery pad to help in cleaning.

Let the thinner evaporate completely (e.g. air-dry overnight at ambient temperature or for 30-40 minutes at +60 °C).
