Information

This product is suitable for

plasticised PVC BUT IS

NOT SUITABLE FOR LOW

SURFACE ENERGY

PLASTICS.

Application Techniques

1. Bond strength is

dependent upon the amount

of adhesive-to-surface

contact developed. Firm

application pressure

develops better adhesive

contact & thus improves

bond strength.

2. To obtain optimum

adhesion, the bonding

surfaces must be clean dry

and well unified. A typical

surface cleaning solvent is

isopropyl alcohol & water.

Use proper safety

precautions for handling

solvents.

3. Ideal tape application

temperature range is 21°C

to 38°C (70°F to 100°F).

Initial tape application to

surfaces at temperatures

below 10°C (50°F) is not

recommended because the

adhesive becomes too firm

to adhere readily. However

once properly applied low

temperature holding is

generally satisfactory.

Applications

Bonding cable trunking

within cabinets or on

furniture.

Point of sale bonding

applications using board,

paper and most plastics.

Signing applications - low

performance.

Furniture trim bonding.

Cable clips & air freshener,
