Standard contact adhesive n-Hexane and Toluene Free; with high tack and initial strength, and good heat resistance, open time is relatively long. |
Technical characteristics & usage advice
Application: Apply to both surfaces and allow to tack - 15 minutes as a general rule, but can be longer for materials such as PPC.
Use for bonding: EVA, Leather, Rubber, PU, Cork, PVC (Hardened), PPC, PE, Plastics and Textiles.
Instructions for use
- Sand, grind or rough all materials prior to bonding to increase surface area.
- Clean and remove all grinding dust and fibres.
- Apply a thin, even coat of contact adhesive to both materials.
- Leave to dry for 10 minutes prior to bonding, this allows the solvents used to dissipate, ensuring the strongest possible bond.
- Press and hold surfaces together for 1 minute.
Maximum adhesion in 24 hours.
FAQ
What is Polychloroprene Adhesive?
Polychloroprene adhesive, commonly known as neoprene adhesive, is a type of synthetic rubber-based contact adhesive. It is formulated from polychloroprene, a type of chloroprene rubber. Neoprene adhesives are valued for their excellent bonding properties to various substrates, including rubber, fabric, leather, plastics, and metals.
These adhesives are known for their: Flexibility: They maintain adhesion even under stress, vibration, or movement. Resistance: They exhibit good resistance to heat, oil, water, and many chemicals. Bonding Strength: Neoprene adhesives provide strong and durable bonds.
They are commonly used in industries such as automotive, footwear, construction, and manufacturing for applications like shoe manufacturing, bonding rubber gaskets, laminating fabrics, and in general bonding situations where a strong, flexible bond is required.
What is a Contact Adhesive?
A Contact adhesive is a type of adhesive known for its ability to create strong, instant bonds between two surfaces. Unlike other adhesives that require clamping or sustained pressure, contact adhesives form an immediate bond when the coated surfaces are pressed together. Here are some key characteristics of contact adhesive:
1. Instant Bonding: Once the adhesive is applied to both surfaces and allowed to dry, joining the surfaces creates an immediate and strong bond.
2. Versatility: It can bond a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, plastic, laminate, fabric, and more.
3. Flexibility: Contact adhesives retain some flexibility once dried, allowing for movement or expansion of the bonded materials.
4. Solvent-Based or Water-Based: Contact adhesives are available in both solvent-based and water-based formulations.
Contact adhesives are commonly used in various industries and applications, such as laminate work (e.g., bonding laminates to countertops), woodworking, automotive applications (e.g., headliners), footwear manufacturing, and in the installation of flooring materials like tiles or carpets. It’s important to follow manufacturer instructions carefully when using contact adhesives as they often involve applying the adhesive to both surfaces, allowing it to partially dry, and then pressing the surfaces together for a strong, durable bond.
