Rainbow Adhesives RD - 209

Rainbow Adhesives RD - 209 (Emulsion Adhesive), designed primarily as a fast setting emulsion adhesive to bond polyvinyl chloride (PVC) extrusions, sheets, films and foams to a wide range of substrates. RD209 is also being used successfully to coat PVC and synthetic materials that are later applied by the iron-on or hot press method. Other suggested uses are as an adhesive for bonding to a wide range of porous and non-porous substrates such as woods, plastics, coated paper and leather for packaging, book binding, shoe manufacturing and textiles.

    When To Use Water-Based Adhesives?
    • Water-based adhesives use water as their carrier fluid. The water suspends the adhesive particles, which reduces the viscosity of the adhesive, allowing for applications to be applied at varying levels of thickness.
    • If you are working with paper, a water-based adhesive will likely do the trick. Water-based adhesive is most often used for paper-to-paper applications, including labels, envelopes, and packaging, but is also a helpful tool when working with wood projects, fabric bonding, laminate bonding and construction projects.
    • These types of adhesives work best on these projects because all of these types of projects are high-tension surfaces, which are ideal for water-based adhesives. Water-based adhesives are also more environmentally sound, which is often a benefit when working with paper, fabric, wood, and construction projects.
