Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I ensure a proper conductive bond with the grounded repair glue?
Surface preparation is critical. Abrade the bonding surfaces with sandpaper or a wire brush to remove all oxidation, paint, and contaminants. Clean thoroughly with a solvent like acetone or isopropyl alcohol to ensure a clean, oil-free metal surface for maximum adhesion and conductivity.
Can this adhesive be used on live electrical equipment?
No. Always follow standard Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures. Equipment must be de-energized, isolated, and confirmed dead before applying any repair material. This adhesive is for repairing components, not for live electrical work.
What is the shelf life, and how should I store it?
The shelf life in unopened, original containers is 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place (ideally between 10-25°C / 50-77°F). Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and premature curing.
Is the cured adhesive paintable or coatable?
Yes. Once fully cured, the surface can be lightly abraded and cleaned. It will accept most industrial-grade paints and protective coatings, allowing for a seamless finish with the surrounding equipment.
Do you offer custom packaging or formulations for large-scale OEM use?
Absolutely. We work closely with OEM and large-scale MRO clients to develop custom packaging (cartridges, bulk kits) and can discuss formulation adjustments for specific application requirements. Contact our technical sales team to discuss your needs.
