Trapylen® 113 X

1 of 74 products in this brand
Trapylen® 113 X is a chemically modified low-chlorinated polypropylene distinguished by its exceptional affinity to polyolefinic plastics, including PP, PP/EPDM-blends, and, to a limited extent in adhesion strength, PE. Notably, it features a higher molecular weight and a narrow molecular weight distribution compared to other modified chlorinated types. With a reduced content of maleic anhydride, this product exhibits excellent compatibility properties with other binder resins. Trapylen® 113 X is versatile, serving as either a straight primer or an adhesion promoter for base coats and pigmented primers. Its primary application lies in paintings and coatings for molded parts, particularly sealing profiles in the automotive industry, such as bumpers, side panels, and door seals.

Main Uses
  • Trapylen® 113 X is used either as a straight primer or as an adhesion promoter for base coats and pigmented primers. Its principal use is in paintings/coatings for molded parts and sealing profiles in the automotive industry, such as bumpers, side panels and door seals.
  • Trapylen® 113 X can also be used in adhesives and flocking agents for door seals.
  • Trapylen® 113 X is used in industrial applications where PP based plastics are chemically pretreated.
Applications
  • Using TRAPYLEN® 113 as a primer by diluting the resin solution with xylene to 5% solids.
  • Trapylen® 113 X primer can be applied by spraying, dipping, brushing or printing.
  • Drying conditions: 30 s at 80 °C, residual quantity of resin about 3 - 4 g/m².
  • When using TRAPYLEN®113 X as adhesion promoter in base coats/pigmented primers, the compatibility of the system must be checked.
  • The resulting base coat can be applied by spraying, dipping, brushing or printing if the system allows it.
