8000/N is a two-part adhesive with long open time and high tack suitable for cold bonding of leather uppers to soles of vulcanized SBR, microcellular rubber, resin rubber (Thunit) and leather .
CHARACTERISTICS
Composition : polychloroprene rubber and synthetic resins in a blend of organic solvents.
Mode of setting : evaporation of solvents and reaction with curing agent.
Colour : light amber
Solvent blend : esters, ketones, aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Components : two components to be mixed prior to use. Part two is Desmodur RE, RFE,
mixing ratio being 3-4% by weight to be added to the adhesive (part one).
Pot life : The adhesive with addition of accelerator is to be used within 1 - 3 hours after mixing
TECHNICAL DATA
Solids content : 22 - 24 %
Viscosity : 1800 - 2200 mPas (Brookfield spindle 4 speed. 50 at 25 °C)
METHOD OF USE
Surface preparation:
- Leather soles and leather uppers should be carefully roughened and brushed. Polychloroprene based adhesives are not suitable for bonding oily leathers, for which polyurethane based adhesives are recommended.
- Soles of vulcanized rubber should be roughened soon before using them in bonding. Soles obtained from rubber slabs, either of the expanded or of the non-expanded type, already roughened soon after manufacture might prove satisfactory even if aged up to some extent. Prior testing is therefore always recommended.
Application of Adhesive:
apply by brush the adhesive on to the two surfaces to be bonded.
Drying of Adhesive:
allow to dry 25-30 minutes so that solvents can evaporate.
