Body Repairs - General Information - Sealer, Underbody Protection Material and Adhesives Transit 2000.5 (01/2000-05/2006)
Description and Operation

Sealants, adhesives, cavity wax and underbody protection materials are used during the various body repairs. In this area Ford offers a range of products which have been tested and matched to each other.

CAUTION:
CAUTION:Always be extremely careful when handling solvents, sealants and adhesives. Some products contain substances harmful to health or give off harmful or poisonous vapors. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. If there is any doubt as to whether a particular solvent is suitable, it must NOT be used.

Clinched flange protection

This is a 1-component PU adhesive sealant applied through a flat nozzle. It is fast setting and is very resistant to ageing. After application it is easily sanded and stretched and it can also be painted over.

Seam sealant T Anthracite

This is a 1-component sealant material for sealing joints and seams. It is also suitable for gluing HVH elements into position in their respective body areas. It is a solvent-free, odourless adhesive which does not contain silicone or isocyanate.

Body sealant T beige

This sealant, which contains solvent and has a long service life, is particularly suitable for visible seams. It can be painted after it has set.

Underbody protection

Underbody protection is necessary for permanently elastic corrosion protection of vehicle underbodies. It is very durable and has good resistance to abrasion,

Cavity wax

This touch-proof, transparent corrosion protection wax is used for the preservation of cavities and flange joints.

Anti-corrosion wax

Anti-corrosion wax is a coating material which can be applied in fine spray, forming a very thin and grease-like protective film, therefore offering very good corrosion protection.

Metal adhesive

For joining metal to metal and plastic to metal. The adhesive reduces droning noises and improves corrosion protection.

1-component window glass adhesive kit

For direct glazing. The vehicle is ready to drive after 6 hours (passenger airbag). Prevents contact corrosion.

2-component window glass adhesive kit

For direct glazing. The vehicle is ready to drive after 1 hour (passenger airbag). The adhesive is not an electrical conductor and permits interference-free radio reception. Prevents contact corrosion. Using a 150ml additional cartridge, the adhesive can also be used for large windows or to produce a double seam of adhesive.
