Minimum Curing Time
WARNING:
Special requirements must be fulfilled for replacing bonded outer door plates. One of these standards for example is, that a freshly bonded outer door plate must comply with the safety elements, even in an accident, once the adhesive has exceeded the prescribed curing time.
The minimum curing time for outer door panel with 1K adhesive DH 009 100 is 180 minutes.
By minimum curing time, it is meant the time from bonding in the outer door plate up to use in the vehicle, or until further work can be performed. During this time, the vehicle must stand on an even surface at room temperature (at least 60° F (15° C)).
WARNING:
The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum curing time has elapsed.
