When using Coreactant F, use the amount shown in the Typical Properties section as a guide. The

optimum level of coreactant should be determined experimentally for each particular end use. Adhesive

with coreactant is handled in the same manner as adhes ive without coreactant. Curing begins after solvent removal and continues slowly at room temperature. Approximately 7

- 14 days are necessary to complete the cure at room temperature, but a post cure at elevated temperatures can reduce this time.

High mol ecular weight polyesters that are used in solution adhesives like Adcote 1130 have a tendency to form a reversible structure in solution with time. This structuring is accelerated when the adhesive is exposed to temperatures below 50°F. The structuring is reversible if heat and shear is applied to the adhesive. We recommend placing the container of adhesive in a steam cabinet, allowing venting of the container and heating to 110

- 140°F. After the adhesive reaches the proper temperature, mix the adhesive

in the container for 1

- 3 hours under moderate shear. Use of a disperser or “Cowles” type blade will shorten

the time needed.

Caution must be taken because of the flammability of the solvents used in the adhesive. Please

review MSDS for hazards associat ed with the adhesive.

Attempting to redisperse without heat may reduce the apparent viscosity, but not result in a homogeneous

mix . Before using the adhesive, check to make sure that all resin has returned to a true solution and no gels

remain.

Pot Life Do not mix more Adcote 1130 resin and coreactant than will be needed in 8 hours. Any mixed solution that is left over should be stored in tightly closed containers and used within 3 days. When reusing, we recommend combining the old mixed solution with the newly mixed solution at a ratio of 25% old/75% new. Mix thoroughly.

Safety Precautions Adcote 1130 resin contains somewhat toxic and/or flammable solvents, and suitable handling precautions should be observed. Do not inhale the fumes. Avoid prolong ed and repeated skin contact. Eye contact must be prevented. Wear synthetic gloves, face shields and aprons impermeable to these solvents whenever there is a possibility of skin contact. Use NIOSH approved respirators to avoid fumes.
