ADHESIVE S AND SE ALA N TSGeneral Info r m ation

The initia l color and clarity of Adcote 2 1 4 0 resin will re main unchan ged after ou td oor exposure. In addition,

Adcote 2140 resin is resist ant to attack by dilu te acid and alkali solutions. When mixed with c o reactant, the tensile streng th, and resista n ce to chemical plastici zers, solven ts, a nd water ar e noticeably improved. The melting range will also incre a se. With so me substrate s

, the add ition of a coreactant ma y impro ve adhesion

.

Directions For Use Apply Adcote 214 0 resi n by any of th e conventio n a l me th od s

, in c l ud in g g r avu r e c o a t er

, r e ve rs e r o ll

coate r , knife and sprayin g . Dilution ma y be nece s sa ry. Apply enough wet co a t ing to depo si t 0.1–0.3 dry mils (ap p roximately 2–6 d r y lbs per 3,0 00 squ a re f eet) and comp letely remove the solvents. Laminate

with heate d n i p rolls to p r o v ide a minim u m glue line t e mpe r ature o f 290 ° F.

The preferred method for bonding is to coat the mo re stable sub s trate, hea t so the glue line is 290 ° F
minimum, an d bond. A h eated press can be us ed for general purpose bonding by emp l oying enough pressure to in sure intima te contact be tween the adhes ive and bo th s u rfaces, and holding this p r essure until
the g l ue line r eaches 290 ° F.

When using Coreactant F, use the amo unt shown in t he Typica l Solution Properties section as 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 th e same manner as without . Curing begins after solve n t remova l and continues slowly at roo m temperatur e. Approximately 7–14 day s are necessary to complete the cure at room temperature

, but a post cure at ele v a t ed temperatures can reduce th is time.

Pot Life

It is best not to mix more Adcote 2140 resin and corea c t ant than will be used in 8 hours. Any mixed solution

that is le ft o v er should be stored in tig h tly closed containers and should be u s ed within 3 days. When reusing, we r e commend th at you combine the o l d mixed solu tion with newly mixed solu tion in the ra tio o f

25% o l d and 75% new , an d mix thoroug hly.

Safet y Preca utions

Adcote 2140 resin contains somewhat toxic and/or flammable solvents and suit able handlin g precautions

should be observed. Do n o t inhale the fumes. Av oid prolonged and repeated contact with the skin. Eye contact must be preven te d. Synthe tic gloves

, face shields, an d aprons impe r meable to th ese solvents

should be wor n when there is possible skin c ontact. Us e NIOSH app roved respira t ors to avo i d fumes.
