Features & Benefits
- Features
POLYTHICK 410-SA system has the following features:
- Exhibits high adhesive strength and excellent tackiness on glass, metal and plastics. Also, this product is applicable particularly to producing self-adhesive labels used for frozen foods, due to its high adhesive strength even on wet surfaces and at low temperatures.
- Displays 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 410-SA and POLYTHICK SC-75 should be mixed in the following proportions.POLYTHICK 410-SA: 100 (wt%),POLYTHICK SC-75: 0.2 − 0.5(wt%)
- To adjust the concentration or viscosity of the coating solution for different coating amount. It should be diluted using ethyl acetate, toluene, or a combination of the two.
- Viscosity of the coating solution increases with time, and the rate of increase in viscosity varies with the ratio of POLYTHICK 410-SA to POLYTHICK SC-75 as well as the concentration and temperature of the coating solution. Determine the amount of coating solution which can be used up at optimal viscosity by checking the rate of viscosity increase in advance.
2. Coating
- Coating machines such as gravure roll coaters and comma coaters are generally used. The coating amount to be applied depends on the kind of substrate and application. However, the standard amount is 10 − 70 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 about 2 days between 40 and 60 °C or for approx. one week at ambient temperature (20 ± 15 °C).
