Product Temperature Sikadur®-32 Normal must be applied at temperatures between +10 °C and
+30 °C.
Ambient Air Temperature +10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Dew Point Beware of condensation.
Substrate temperature during application must be at least 3 °C above dew
point.
Substrate Temperature +10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Pot Life Temperature Potlife* Open time (EN ISO 9514)
+10 °C ~ 145 minutes –
+23 °C ~ 55 minutes ~ 120 minutes
+30 °C ~ 35 minutes ~ 60 minutes
*200 g
The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at high temperatures and longer at
low temperatures. The greater the quantity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at
high temperatures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another method is to chill compon-
ents A+B before mixing them (not below +5 °C).
