Directions F o r Use

Apply Adcote 1640 resin using any o f the conven tional methods , includ ing gr avure coater, reverse roll

coater, knife a nd spraying

. Dilution ma y be nec essary. Apply en oug h wet coating to deposit

0.15-0.25 dry mils (or approxima tel y2 - 6 lbs./3000 sq. ft.) and comp l e tel y remo ve the solven ts.

The preferred metho d for b onding is to 1

. ) coat the mo r e stable substrate, 2) hea t so the glue line is 325 ° F

minimum, an d 3.) bond. A heated press can be used for general pur pose bonding by emp l oying enough

pressure to e n sure intimate contact between the adhes ive and both surfaces, a nd holding this pressure un til

the g l ue line r eaches 325° - 375 ° F.

When using Coreactant F

, use the amount shown in the Typ i cal Properties section as a guide. The

optimum leve l of coreactant should be determined e x p e rim entally fo r each particular end use. Coating with

coreactant is handled in the same ma nner as coati ng withou t c o reactant. C u ring begins after solven t

removal and continues slo w ly at room temperature. Approximate l y 7-14 days a r e needed to complete the

cure at room temperature, b u t a post cure at ele v a t ed te mperatures c an reduce this time

.

Pot Life

Do not mix more Adcote 1640 resin and coreactant t hat will be needed in 8 hours. Any mixed solution that

is left o v er s hould be stor ed in tigh tly closed c ontainers and used within 3 d a ys. When reusing, we

recommend combining the old mixed solution with the new ly mixed solution at a r a tio of 25% old/75% new.

Mix thorough ly.

Adcote 1640 resin contains somewhat to xic and/or fla mmable solvents, and suitable handling precautions

should be observed. Do not inhale the fumes. Avoid prolonged and repeated skin contact. Eye contact

must be pre v ented . We ar synthe tic gloves, face shields and aprons impermeable to th ese solvents

whenever the r e is a possibility of skin con t act. Use NIO S H approved respirators to avoid fu mes.
