Processing
- For the bonding of genuine leather, artificial leather and spacer fabrics a double side adhesive application on the laminate and on the carrier is necessary to achieve the maximum bonding performance.
- For foil applications a single side adhesive application on the carrier is sufficient.
- Equipment, containers, hoses, etc. which come into contact with Thermonex® 063-14A red must be of corrosion resistant material (i.e. stainless steel 1.4541 or 1.4571 or plastic) to avoid coagulation.
- Any contact with non-ferrous metals (like hoses, sealing rings, filter bodies, etc.) must be avoided in any case.
- The adhesive can be applied by spraying out of a pressure pot or with automated mixing systems.
- The use of HVLP spray guns minimizes overspray.
- Also roller coating is possible as an application system.
Drying
- Recommended maximum drying temperature is 45°C in a ventilated oven for approx. 10 - 20 minutes (depending on the part size and coating weight).
- Drying with dry air (< 10 % rel. humidity) leads to a faster and very gentle drying process.
- During the drying process, the humidity in the drying channel increases strongly.
- The excessive moisture content must be reduced either by fresh air supply or by drying out physically.
- The adhesive film must be completely dry before lamination (recommended remaining humidity < 10 %).
Caution:
- The drying time is influenced by the absorbency of the surface, drying temperature, coating weight, air humidity etc. and needs to be checked under real life conditions.
