APPLICATION
Antel
Thixotropic Contact Adhesive is easily applied by serrated scraper
or brush and is clean and economical to use resulting in a secure
and lasting bond. Bonds
can be made by the following techniques.
9.1
Two way dry stick
An
even film of adhesive should be applied to both surfaces.
When the adhesive becomes touch dry, bring the materials
together under firm pressure to ensure good coalescence.
It is desirable to use a nip or hand roller to obtain the
best results. Ensure
parts are positioned correctly as permanent bonds are formed on
contact although full strength is obtained after 1 - 2 days.
9.2
Two way semi wet stick
The
adhesive is applied to one surface and allowed to dry completely
(even overnight). The
other surface is then coated and the bond made whilst there is
still some solvent in the film.
This will allow for some slight adjustment although this
method should only be used when one of the substrates is porous.
9.3
Heat reactivation.
Both
surface are coated and allowed to dry completely.
They are then placed under an infra red lamp and heat
reactivated until the temperature of the film reaches 70°C.
The films should then be joined under firm, even pressure.
Do
not use on unbacked PVC without testing for plasticiser migration.
