Cilbond® R-7116 is a waterborne 1K (1 component) adhesive designed for automotive and transportation applications specifically in chassis and brake systems such as aftermarket brake pads. This liquid adhesive uses water-based bonding technology and meets lead-free labeling requirements. It can be applied by spray, dip coating, roll coater or brush and adheres effectively to metal substrates. The product delivers strong performance with excellent salt spray resistance, fatigue resistance and superior oil, heat, water, fuel, diesel and fluid resistance. It provides a ready-to-use solution with consistent, reliable results. Certified under ISO 9001, it ensures quality compliance for industrial and automotive applications requiring durable, environmentally responsible bonding.

Processing Information

Process

  • Particularly suited to processes involving hot press and cure within the mould
  • Cilbond R-7116 must be completely dry before moulding.
  • Apply Cilbond R-7116 to pre-heated metal parts (35 - 50°C).
  • Metals can also be put in an oven after coating, but do not exceed 50°C. If applying to unheated metal parts, the ambient temperature should ideally be above 20°C and allow films to dry for at least 60 minutes.
  • Pre-baking could reduce penetration into the friction compound, and so is not recommended for brake pad bonding.

Storage Conditions
  • Cilbond R-7116 should be stored / transported between 0°C and 30°C.
  • If stored above or below these temperatures, then we recommend validating the material to ensure it still meets end-use requirements.
  • If stored below -5°C, warm slowly and then stir with a high shear to form a smooth and homogenous mix.
  • If stored above 40°C, then cool as soon as possible, re-check that the product is with original specification and use with 1 month.
