General Instructions

Instructions for Use

  • Application temperature: 190°C – 210°C
  • Take note of the open time in the technical data table.
  • The structure of the substrates and working conditions will influence adhesive bonding. Adhesive trials with substrates under customer conditions are necessary.
  • Due to the high softening point and melting temperature quick melting and application of adhesive is recommended. Avoiding too long heat exposure of adhesive in the pre-melter prevents from thermal degradation and decreasing of bonding quality.

Remarks

  • Prolonged exposure to high temperature should be avoided since this may lower the bonding performance.
  • Usually, this adhesive is not suitable for plastics containing monomeric plasticizers: plasticizer migration can cause degradation of the adhesive film. Applications like this have to be tested for compatibility.

Cleaning Instructions

  • While the product is hot a preliminary cleaning should be done by scraping with a spatula.
  • Please contact your local Sales Office for available cleaning solutions.
