Application:

Edgebanding For bonding thermoplastic edgebands (e.g. ABS, PP, PVC), edgebands made of resinated decor paper, veneer or solid wood edges. Processing with high-speed wrapping units is possible. The properties of the bonded parts and the surfaces of the substrates (including primer coating on the reverse side or other surface pretreatment) have to undergo application-related testing prior to use.

Characteristics / Directions for Use:

Processing with special equipment from moisture-proof sealed containers. The viscosity of the product may increase during storage due to the ingredients’ chemical reactions that cannot be influenced. High storage temperatures promote that increase in viscosity. Different types of hot melt adhesives may be incompatible with each other depending on the formulation. Therefore, we recommend to carefully clean the application equipment when changing the product. Further information is available upon request. The processing characteristics may vary depending on the application technology used as well as at differing feed speeds, which can affect the bonding process. Customer trials are required. Requirements for a High-Quality Bonding Process: The properties (e.g. surface tension, plasticizer content…) and the conditioning of the substrates, as well as the processing conditions (e.g. ambient temperature, humidity…) will influence the processes of joining and bonding. Among other factors, the crosslinking of the adhesive depends on the application amount, the temperature and humidity of the ambient air, as well as on the temperature, moisture content, and permeability of the substrates. Customer tests under consideration of everyday production conditions are therefore absolutely necessary to define stable process parameters and to ensure that the product is fit for purpose. For best bonding results, the materials to be bonded should be free of dust, oil, and grease, and be dry. Ideally, the minimum temperature should be at 18 °C. Avoid draft. Our Application Technology Department and our Application Specialists will provide technical data to assist you in your choice of an appropriate product for your requirements. Please observe the information in the section “Remarks.” As a suggestion on how to establish high-quality bonding processes, please refer to DIN 2304.

Cleaning:

If necessary, flush out hot melt remnants from the melt and applicator units with Jowat® Flushing Agent 930. 94 (red). Crosslinked, solid material has to be dissolved with Jowat® Cleaner 930.60 (please test for suitability before use). For more information, please refer to the “PUR hot melt Manual” under the heading “Maintenance and Cleaning” (available upon request). Safety Concerns: Safety Concerns: The product contains isocyanates. Please observe the information on safe handling in the safety data sheet. Like all hot liquids, this product can cause severe burns in the molten state. Please take appropriate precautions to prevent the hot adhesive from coming into contact with the skin (e.g. by wearing appropriate protective gloves). If this does happen, cool the affected area immediately with water. Do not try to remove the adhesive from the skin. Seek medical attention.

Storage:

The product should remain stored in properly closed original containers, dry and cool (15 – 25 °C). For best-before date, please see container label. After the elapse of the best-before date, it is essential that you again verify that the product is fit for your intended application. Protect from moisture!

Packaging:

Information about moisture-proof packaging and units is available upon request.

Remarks:

For further information concerning safety, handling, transport and disposal, please refer to the safety data sheet. The information on this data sheet is based on test results from our laboratories as well as on reported experience gained in the field by our customers. It can, however, not cover all parameters for each specific application and is therefore not binding upon Jowat, nor should it be relied upon in lieu of your own required testing. The information given in this leaflet does not represent a performance guarantee. Unless otherwise agreed with our customers, the values stated in the section “Specification” shall be regarded as the finally agreed upon product properties. No liability may be derived from the information contained herein nor from the information provided by our free technical advisory service.
