Delamination Acrylic Adhesive S1227 | Two-Part High-Strength Weld Cement for Caravan & Motorhome Window Repairs | Dries Clear | 45ml kit

Description

Delamination Acrylic Adhesive S1227 is a two-component, transparent acrylic adhesive (cement) for the high-strength bonding of plastics such as acrylic and perspex.

This adhesive is particularly suited to repairing delaminated acrylic windows in caravans. It is the replacement for our S1220 which was our most popular product for delaminated caravan window repair. The S1227 offers some very important advantages over the original S1220.

1. The most common issue raised by users of the S1220 was that the open time was very short, only 1-2 minutes. The S1227 offers the user a much better open time of approximately 15-20 minutes.
2. The S1220 was only available in 25ml due to the restriction on the size of the self plunger type cartridge which meant that the maximum bead length was only 1.5m. As the S1227 comes in a bottle we can increase the amount of adhesive provided meaning that for almost the same price as the original S1220 the user now gets enough adhesive for 3-5m bead length. This makes the product even more economical relative to the price of a new window.

The S1227 is easy to use, dries clear and once cured forms a bond that is stronger than the window itself.

Typically used for

Product Specifications

This adhesive is supplied in two separate bottles, Part A being the adhesive and Part B is the activator. Once mixed together the adhesive will start to cure and therefore should be used within 20 minutes of mixing. This kit is designed to be used for a single application. Please do not try to decant smaller amounts of each part as the ratio is specific and you have been provided with exactly the amounts required. If you have more than one window to repair please purchase multiple kits rather than trying to split down a single kit.

High strength bond with high environmental resistance

Once bonded, this fusion of chemistries achieves an ultra high strength UV stable bond with excellent chemical and environmental resistance.

Directions for use

1. For optimum performance surfaces should be clean and free of grease. We would recommend using an alcohol based cleaner rather than a water based one as any residue should dissapate before adhesion is attempted.
2. Remove the top from both Part A and Part B bottles and pour all of Part B into the larger Part A bottle.
3. Replace the top on the Part A bottle and shake vigorously for 2 minutes.
4. Take the cap off the Part A bottle and cut the nib off the top of the bottle down to the ridge.
5. Gently apply the adhesive along the centre of the delamination with a bead not exceeding 5mm wide as this will spread across approximately 15mm.
6. Check the coating has no gaps that may allow moisture through and thus prevent sealing properly.
7. Bring the top pane down to the bottom pane and apply immediate pressure to make sure both panels touch everywhere thereby avoiding gaps.
8. If gaps are visible the panels can be lightly clamped to ensure all gaps are mated. Clamping should be achieved using clothes pegs or light spring clamps but not heavy duty clamps as this may cause a spiderwebbing effect.
9. It is always easier to remove any excess adhesive prior to cure.
10. Once you have used the adhesive leave the cap off the bottle and set outside in a safe location for at least 3 hours. DO NOT touch the bottle in this time as it will get very hot.
11. Allow the adhesive sufficient time to achieve handling strength before moving or unclamping components.
12. Once product has fully cured, polish any adhesive outside of the bondline with a soft cloth to achieve a deep shine.
13. Please allow at least 6 hours before refitting the window. When refitting ensure that a large and fast change in temperature does not occur. ie. if the repair has been undertaken in the cool of a garage, please don’t refit the window in the middle of the midday heat. Wait until the evening to allow the window to change temperature more gradually.

Packing and storage information

S1227 should be stored unopened in a cool dry location, out of direct sunlight, at approximately 5-25°C. This grade can offer a 6 month shelf life from manufacture.

Please note

• One 45ml set will bond approximately 3m-5m in length.
• Each set is single use, once mixed the adhesive cannot be used again outside of its working time.
• If you only have a partial delamination we would recommend using WC105 instead to reduce waste. WC105 can be re-used if stored correctly thereby offering better value for money as well.
• As a conscientious supplier we would like to advise that we have had a small number of complaints to date out of the thousands of customers supplied. These customers experienced severe cracking of their windows following application of the S1227. We have been unable to fully understand the reason why this occurs, possible causes are use of water based cleaner, over clamping of the window or possibly even just age of the window itself. We do not offer any compensation if this occurs to your window so if you are not willing to run the risk of this happening then please do not purchase the product.
