ADHESIVE S AND SE ALA N TS

MorA relatively slow initial in crease in visco s ity is due to the exothermi c rea c tion of t he adh esive immediately after the mixing pro c e s s a nd the mech a n ical influ ences in the ap pl ication syste m

.

For sho r t trial runs th e adh esive can be batch mixed. We re com m end prepa rati on of no more adhe sive tha n can b e use d within 5-10 minutes. A high sp eed stirrer suita b le for a homoge ne ous mixing sho u ld be use d . Ho wever, the u s e of a me ter/mix/dispen se device whi c h contin uou sly mixes the adhe sive at the cho s en ratio, control s the feedin g of the applica t ion unit, and stop s pro d u c tion automatically in ca se of ma chin e failure s, is indi sp en sable for exten ded trial s and normal p r od uction.

Whe n pro c e s sing Mo r-Fre e ELM 415A + CR 88-101, t he safety rul e s for workin g with iso c ya nates must be ob se rved. The ad hesive contai ns le ss tha n 0.1% of monomeri c TDI. See Materi al Safety Data Sheet fo r spe c ific d e tails.

Cleaning The appli c ati on unit sh oul d be cle ane d before the a d hes ive b e co mes in solu ble by progressi ve curin g , if the machin e stop s take more tha n 30 minutes. Wh ere a no n-fla mmable solv ent is req u ire d to flush the mixing an d meterin g un its, please co nsult wi th you r Roh m and Haa s re prese n tative. If the appli c ation u n it and mixing device a r e comb ustio n p r oof, they may be clean ed with este rs o r ketone s

su ch a s ethyl acetate a nd MEK. Consult the Materi al Safety Data Sheet of the solvent suppli e r for safe ha ndlin g and pre c a u tions.

Several com m ercially avai lable solvents are saf e and effective for flushi ng an d cl eanin g Mor-F r ee adhe sive re si due s from sol v entless lami nators and m e ter/mix/disp ensi ng eq uip m ent that do not have comb ustio n p r oof ratin g s. We recomme nd co ntactin g either Dynal oy , Inc. (800-669-570 9; www.dy naloy.com ), or Dan k o Indu strie s (630 -8 82-607 0) for cl eani n g solvent re commen dation s
