POLYFLOCK™ 97

Description

Polyurethane flocking adhesive, crosslinking with both humidity and heat.

Specific Features

Mono-component, fast, good resistance to humidity.

Field of Use

Elastomer profiles for automotive sealings (EPDM, CR, SBR/EPDM blends).

Directions for Use

Before use, the adhesive must be homogenized and its temperature close to 20°C. Application of the adhesive can be done by brushing or by spraying on the substrate. The flock is then applied (Polyamide or Polyester), and the adhesive film is crosslinked under I.R. or by passing through a hot air tunnel.

The flock holds well as soon as the flocked profile cools down. Maximum performances however are obtained within 2-3 days.

Cleaning

After use, the equipment must be cleaned with solvents like MIBK.
