Features & Benefits
- Features
POLYTHICK 1001-S has the following features: ·
- Exhibits moderate adhesive strength and high removability from adherends such as glass, metal and plastics.
- Displays excellent stability of coating solution when acidic phosphate is used as a curing catalyst.
- Exhibits high transparency and weather resistance, because the main component is an acrylate polymer.
- Easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and toluene.
- Excellent workability due to its low viscosity.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Methods
1. Preparation of Coating Solution
- For coating solution, POLYTHICK 1001-S and the appropriate amount of a curing catalyst should be mixed.
- An acidic phosphate-based compound [e.g. Johoku Chemical Co., Ltd. product] is recommended as a curing catalyst.
- To adjust the concentration or viscosity of the coating solution for different amounts of coating, it should be diluted using ethyl acetate, toluene, or a combination of the two.
2. Coating
- Coating machines including gravure roll coaters are generally used. The coating amount to be applied depends on the kind of substrate and application. However, the standard amount is 5 - 15 g (residue on evaporation)/m2 to achieve sufficient adhesive strength.
3. Drying
- Use of a hot-air dryer with multiple heat settings is recommended because this product contains an organic solvent with a low boiling point. The coating should be dried very well so that none of the organic solvent remains.
4. Curing
- After being dried, the coating should be cured for approx. 3 days between 40 and 60°C.
