chemlok® 6108 adhesive

Versatile - Can be used as a single layer. However, in harsh environments, it needs to be used with Chemlok 205 primer adhesive to bond various elastomers and metals together. Suitable for secondary vulcanization.
Simple coating - the coating method is simple, brushing, spraying, dipping can be used.
Excellent Appearance - The dry film has a continuous, uniform appearance.

Process Compatibility - Can be adapted to various process conditions, including long pre-bake. Environmental Resistance - Good salt spray resistance.
Environmentally Friendly - Significantly reduces environmental emissions of heavy metals.

SURFACE PREPARATION - Thoroughly clean metal surfaces before applying adhesive. Use solvent-based degreasers or alkaline cleaners to remove protective oils, cutting oils and grease from metal surfaces. Choose appropriate chemical cleaning and mechanical cleaning methods to remove rust and oxide layers on metal surfaces.

• Chemical cleaning Chemical treatment can be used for metal parts that will be deformed during sandblasting or where the tolerance requirements are very strict. Phosphating is a common chemical treatment method for steel, and conversion coating is usually used for aluminum.
• mechanical cleaning
  Sandblasting is the most common method of mechanical cleaning. In addition, mechanical cleaning methods include steel brush cleaning, grinding or machining. Use steel grit to blast steel, cast iron or other ferrous metals. For stainless steel, aluminum, brass, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals use aluminum oxide, sand, or other non-ferrous metal grit.

Stirring - Before applying Chemlok 6108 adhesive to the primer, please stir the adhesive thoroughly and evenly. It also needs to be fully stirred during use to keep the solid content in a uniform state.
The optimum film thickness for coat-adhesives depends on the rubber formulation and the desired adhesion. Regardless of the application method, a dry film thickness of approximately 12.7-25.4 micron (0.5-1.0 mil) is recommended. If the requirements for environmental resistance are not high, the dry film thickness can be smaller for rubber materials that are easy to bond, and the dry film thickness may need to be thicker for some rubber materials that are difficult to bond and when environmental resistance needs to be improved.

Vulcanization - Curing of Chemlok 6108 occurs simultaneously with the vulcanization of the rubber. After the vulcanization of the rubber, the adhesive will also harden, but the adhesive layer is still fragile at high temperature after forming. When removing the film, care should be taken not to let the adhesive surface be affected by external forces.

The shelf life is one year after shipment from the production factory, stored in the unopened original packaging in a ventilated environment at 21-27°C. Do not store or use near heat, sparks or open flames.
