Reliobond® SC-215A is a general-purpose adhesive that can be used to bond a variety of plastics, fabrics and metals. Reliobond SC-215A is particularly well suited for bonding flexible vinyl as it is highly resistant to plasticizer migration. Reliobond SC-215A can be applied as a contact adhesive or heat cured for additional bond strength. Reliobond SC-215A has a low VOC solvent system (<110 g/L, <1.5%).
All bonding surfaces must be free of oils, dirt and other contaminates. Metal surfaces should be de-greased using an alkaline cleaning solution or a solvent rinse. Plastics should be wiped clean with isopropyl alcohol or toluene to remove any mold releases or other surface contaminates.
Reliobond® SC-215A can be applied by brush, spray, or roller. For spray application, dilution of Reliobond SC-215A with methyl ethyl ketone, methyl acetate, acetone or n-butyl acetate may be necessary.
When using Reliobond SC-215A as a contact adhesive, coat both bonding surfaces. After 2-3 minutes drying time, the bonding surfaces can be mated and pressed together. If the adhesive gets too dry and a good bond cannot be formed the adhesive can be reactivated by wiping with acetone or methyl ethyl ketone or by applying a fresh coat of adhesive.
HEAT CURING
Reliobond SC-215A can be heat cured at 280°F-350°F for 5 minutes to 1 hour to create a stronger, more chemical resistant bond. During this cure process, pressure is also recommended for creating the best bond. 75-150 psi should be applied.
Recommended storage temperature for Reliobond® SC-215A is 40°F-60°F (4°C-16°C). Prolonged storage at temperatures above 60°F can cause curing or gelling of the adhesive. If cold storage is not available, try to keep the adhesive in a cool, dry area.
