Master Bond Polymer System X17 is a specially formulated one component adhesive specially designed for bonding polyolefins such as polypropylene and polyethylene as well as their many co-polymers and blends. This synthetic elastomer-based adhesive compound exhibits a unique balance of both shear and peel properties when bonding polyolefin substrates to each other and to related substrates including flexible PVC. Master Bond Polymer Systems X17 contains 24% solids and has a carefully formulated solvent blend which readily evaporates as cure proceeds. X17 works best when surfaces are mated immediately after the application of adhesive to each substrate. An initial set occurs readily in Master Bond X17 upon evaporation of less than 25% of the solvent. The strength of this initial set usually suffices to maintain the assembly in position for handling
