- Cleaning
Washable with water
- Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. Any petroleum based product such as oil or grease can prevent suitable bonding.
- Application
Foams: Polyurethane foam, Latex foam. polyether foam, etc.
- Assembly and Bonding Time
Simalfa bonds immediately after spraying. Users can reposition the substrates, to maximize the quality of their product, without re-spraying. Pressure may be applied via manual or mechanical methods to enhance the initial bond. In addition, the user can place the substrates together immediately or up to 15 minutes after spraying if required by their production process. After 15 minutes the adhesive may dry and the final adhesion can suffer, or a pseudo-adhesion could take place. The final bond is achieved once the residual water has evaporated. Although water evaporation happens quickly, it is recommended users wait 24 hours before performing any final bond testing.
- Application Method and Equipment
SIMALFA is best dispensed via our patented Free Flowing gravity delivery system and applied with our high volume low-pressure (HVLP spray guns. Other spray gun manufacturers may also have suitable application equipment. We can supply all the necessary design, engineering and equipment to properly install and use SIMALFA.
Application Methods:
Manual spray, Automatic spray, Roll, or Brush
Spray Gun: SIMALFA HVLP
Nozzle Size: 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm or 2.5 mm
Method of Dispensing: Free Flowing System (Patent#: 5868319 or pressure container. Pumping is not recommended
Other Information: All parts coming in contact with adhesive must be made of stainless steel or plastic. Definitely NO colored metals such as aluminum, steel, brass, etc.
Cleaning of Equipment:Use water only. Never use solvents of any type. Do not submerge spray gun in water- Cleanup
In some cases, a wet adhesive may be removed with water. Dry adhesive cannot be removed from porous substrates such as foams or Tabriz. It is recommended that users prevent adhesive from getting on surfaces where it's not wanted.
