Usage Information

Processing
The adhesive is sprayed on the rigid substrate as a regular and thin layer without excess. The flock fibers are applied onto the humid adhesive film. Equipment, containers, hoses, etc. which come into contact with Thermonex® 080-03A Flock must be of corrosion re- sistant material (i.e. stainless steel 1.4541 or 1.4571 or plastic) to avoid coagulation. Any contact with non- ferrous metals (like hoses, sealing rings, filter bodies, etc.) must be avoided in any case. The adhesive can be applied by spraying out of a pressure pot or with au- tomated mixing systems. The use of HVLP spray guns minimizes overspray. For more details please contact our technical service team.

Drying

The recommended maximum drying temperature can be found in the technical data section. Drying with dry air (< 10 % rel. humidity) leads to a faster and very gentle drying process. During the drying process, the humidity in the drying channel increases strongly. The excessive moisture content must be reduced either by fresh air supply or by drying out physically. Caution: The drying time is influenced by the absorbency of the sur- face, drying temperature, coating weight, air humidity etc. and needs to be checked under real life conditions.
