Metals adhesive wear prevention

Prevention. The following guidelines are reconunendations to prevent adhesive wear in metals, polymers, and ceramics ... 

Even after the metal parts are coated with adhesive, care must be taken to ensure that the surface of the adhesive film does not become contaminated prior to moulding. Any material (dirt, oil, etc.) which can get in between the adhesive and the rubber will prevent the formation of a robust chemical bond and failure will be likely to result. Operators who handle coated parts should wear clean cotton gloves to prevent oils from their hands from contaminating the adhesive. Coated parts should not be stored in areas where they can be exposed to mould releases (either splashed or airborne droplets), dust, and moisture. If coated parts are to be stored for any extended period of time, the container should be covered with either cardboard or untreated Kraft paper. Coated parts should also be kept in areas where they will not be exposed to sunlight or UV radiation for extended periods of time.
