OTTO Primer 1217 silicone and plastic primer bonding agent

Description

OTTO Primer 1217 is a silicone plastics primer based on a solvent-based adhesion promoter combination. It improves the adhesion of OTTO sealants and adhesives on many plastics. The 100 ml aluminium bottle is enough for individual joints and minor repairs.

Benefits at a glance

  • For many plastics: improves the adhesion of OTTO sealants and adhesives on numerous plastic surfaces.
  • No waiting time on smooth surfaces: no flash-off time on smooth, non-absorbent materials, otherwise at least 15 minutes.
  • Very high yield: consumption only approx. 10 to 20 g/m² with a thin, even application.
  • System-tested: Compatibility with OTTO sealants and adhesives tested and approved by OTTO application technology.

Areas of application

  • Joint flanks made of plastic
  • Smooth, non-absorbent plastic surfaces
  • Textured plastic surfaces with flash-off time

Limits & notes

According to OTTO, improper use can cause stress cracking in pre-stressed acrylic glass and polycarbonate. According to the data sheet the primer contains toluene; OTTO application technology can name toluene-free alternatives. Excess primer forms a film that impairs adhesion. For other OTTO product groups, substrates or coatings, OTTO recommends preliminary tests.

Application & tips

Free the bonding surfaces of release agents, grease, oil, dust, water and old adhesives or sealants; clean non-porous substrates with OTTO Cleaner T and a clean, lint-free cloth, clean porous substrates of loose particles mechanically, for example with a steel brush or grinding disc. Apply the primer thinly and evenly with a clean rag, felt or suitable brush. On smooth substrates work can continue immediately; on textured or absorbent surfaces allow to flash off for at least 15 minutes and at most 3 hours. Solvent-containing, flammable: only with good ventilation, away from ignition sources; wear safety goggles and solvent-resistant gloves, according to the safety data sheet made of butyl rubber with a thickness of more than 0.4 mm. Because of the many influences on site, a trial application is always necessary. The use-by date is on the container, storage stability is 12 months at 23 °C.
