    Applications & Uses

    Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
    Typical Applications
    • Designed for transfer coating onto vinyl substrates.
    • This product can be coated onto release liner using conventional coating methods such as reverse roll and Mayer rod.
    • It should be applied at amounts of 11 - 14 lbs. (dry)/3000 sq. ft. (18 - 23 g (dry)/sq. meter) for the purposes of initial evaluation.
    Application Instructions
    • This adhesive may separate over time; this is typical for this type of adhesive.
    • Mix before use; adhesive will readily redisperse with mild agitation.
    • Check pH in open coating pans and adjust to 9.0 - 9.5 with ammonium hydroxide solution, if necessary. If the pH of the adhesive falls below 8.0, coagulation may occur.
    • Air operated diaphragm pumps are recommended to pump the adhesive. Avoid the use of high-speed centrifugal pumps.
    Cleaning Instructions

    The adhesive will clean up with water and mild soap when wet; dried material may require clean up with a solvent such as acetone or ethyl acetate.
