Casabond™ E-LA is recommended for addition to a resorcinol/formaldehyde/copolymer latex dip (RFL) formulation, to produce a single-stage aqueous dip treatment. After appropriate dryng and curing, the polyester cord treated with the Casabond™ E-LA / RFL system shows excellent adhesion to a wide range of elastomers after vulcanisation.
Casabond™ E-LA offers a user-friendly, water-based additive for RFL, for use in single-dip and double-dip applications. When formulated with RFL the grade offers adhesion enhancement; opportunity for modulus engineering; and excellent resistance to settling in a dip-tank.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 12 months
- Storage Conditions
Casabond™ E-LA should be stored in cool and dry conditions in a well ventilated area. Direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided. Provisionally, it is recommended that the material be used within 12 months of certification. Once opened the material should be used within 2 - 3 days.
Note:
- Casabond™ E-LA must be stored in dry conditions at ambient temperature.
- Ensure that containers remain sealed up to the time of use.
- Prior to use or sampling, it is recommended that the containers be rolled as slight settlement may occur. If opened for sampling purposes then the container must be re sealed under a blanket of nitrogen.
- Once a drum is opened, it is recommended the material be used within 2 - 3 days.
