Rapidex® NP 2075

• High initial strength.
• High thermal stability
• Good flexibility after complete curing.

• Application Procedure and Type of Applicator: Drum, pail and bag unloaders in combination with nozzle-, coating roller- and/or screen printing systems.
• Coverage: dependent on application, 10-100 g/m2 depending on application system and substrate.
• Cleaning Agent: IPATHERM®-Reiniger 13 for uncured adhesive. Cured adhesive can only be removed mechanically.

Pretreatment of Bonding Surfaces

• Bonding surfaces have to be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.
• Polyolefin materials have to be corona-pretreated or flame-treated.

Preparation

• Drum unloader, heating plate, conveyor pump and applicator gun can, as a rule, be set to different temperatures.
• Excessive heat may cause decomposition of the adhesive.
• Depending on the construction of the equipment, a temperature of up to 160°C is sufficient for the heating plate and the conveyor pump.
• Due to the short operation time, the application equipment may be run at temperatures of up to 160°C.
• For tank melters only protective gasses with < 5ppm humidity should be used.
• Positive results have been achieved with nitrogen.
• Please take care of that packages are used immediately after opening in order to prevent possible reactions with moisture

Adhesive Application 

• RAPIDEX® NP 2075 LT is either applied in beads or tapes or as a sheet onto one of the bonding surfaces.
• Bonding is carried out immediately upon application.

Special Attention 

• Final cure is achieved by reaction with ambient moisture or moisture from the substrate.
• Curing time depends on the access of humidity to the bonding seam, i.e. the humidity of the substrate, substrate permeability, adhesive film thickness, relative air humidity and ambient temperature.
• Average curing time for bonding onto wooden materials at a temperature of 20°C and relative humidity of 65% amounts to up to 3-4 days.
• If large surfaces and/or impermeable materials are bonded under unfavorable climatic conditions, the curing time may be considerably longer.
