Limitations on Use

MS Safe Fix is not suitable for the following applications:

  • Totally confined spaces where there is no atmospheric humidity, which is needed for curing
  • Glazing applications
  • Underwater applications
  • Below grade applications

Do not apply in the same area that silicone has recently been applied. Fumes from the silicone can affect the cure of the MS and may ultimately lead to premature failure

Testing of new substrates is recommended especially painted, plastic and acrylic substrates. The adhesive will deteriorate if subjected to high temperatures and/or humidity on a continuous basis.
