However, for maximum adhesion, the
use of DOW CORNING® 1200 OS
Primer is recommended. After solvent
cleaning, a thin coat of
DOW CORNING 1200 OS Primer is
applied by dipping, brushing or
spraying. Allow primer to dry for 15 to
90 minutes at room temperature and a
relative humidity of 50% or higher.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply DOW CORNING 732 Multi-
Purpose Sealant to one of the prepared
surfaces, then quickly cover with the
other substrate to be bonded.
On exposure to moisture, the freshly
applied material will "skin-over". Any
tooling should be completed before this
skin forms. The surface is easily tooled
with a spatula. The Adhesive/Sealant
will be tack-free in less than
45 minutes.
CURE TIME
After skin formation, cure continues
inward from the surface. In 24 hours
(at room temperature and 50% relative
humidity) DOW CORNING 732
Multi-Purpose Sealant will cure to a
depth of about 3mm. Very deep
sections, especially when access to
atmospheric moisture is restricted will
take longer to cure completely. Cure
time is extended at lower humidity
levels.
Before handling and packaging bonded
components, users are advised to wait a
sufficiently long time to ensure that the
integrity of the adhesive seal is not
affected. This will depend on many
factors and should be determined by
the user for each specific application.
COMPATIBILITY
DOW CORNING 732 Multi-Purpose
Sealant releases a small amount of
acetic acid during cure. This may cause
corrosion on some metallic parts or
substrates, especially in direct contact
or when the cure is carried out in a
totally enclosed configuration which
would not allow cure by-products to
escape.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Product safety information required for
safe use is not included. Before
handling, read product and safety data
sheets and container labels for safe use,
physical and health hazard information.
The material safety data sheet is
available on the Dow Corning website
at www.dowcorning.com. You can also
obtain a copy from your local
Dow Corning sales representative or
Distributor or by calling your local
Dow Corning Global Connection.
USABLE LIFE AND
STORAGE
When stored at or below 32ºC (90ºF) in
the original unopened containers, this
product has a usable life of 30 months
from the date of production.
As DOW CORNING 732 Multi-
Purpose Sealant cures by reaction with
moisture in air, keep the container
tightly sealed when not in use. A plug
of used material may form in the tip of
a tube or cartridge during storage. This
is easily removed and does not affect
the remaining contents.
