Application Details
  • The required amount of CRA® 17 is added to the particular DEHESIVE® product and the mixture is stirred until it is homogeneous. After addition of the crosslinker the catalyst is slowly added while stirring constantly. Avoid localized excess concentrations.
  • CRA® 17 can be processed together with nearly all solvent-free DEHESIVE® products. It is miscible with them in all proportions.
  • Mixtures of CRA® 17 and DEHESIVE® are ideal for the production of release paper and PSA-laminates. Suitable substrates include glassine, clay-coated or PE-coated papers.
  • Because of the high efficiency and stable release characteristics of CRA® 17, the product is ideal for the production of double-sided release.
