BOSTIK HM7116
Harmonization Code : 3214.10.00 | Putty and other mastics | Resin cements, caulking compounds and other mastics
Main features
- Moderate Open-Time Hot-Melt Processing
- Plasticizer-Migration Resistance for Vinyl
- Good High-Temperature Resistance
Product Description
Bostik HM7116 combines moderate open time, low application viscosity, and good high-temperature resistance in a polyester hot melt adhesive for wood, textiles, vinyl film, and related product-assembly substrates. The light amber granular material is typically applied at 400 to 450 deg F using slot-die, spray, or hot-melt gravure equipment. Resistance to plasticizer migration is relevant for vinyl-film constructions, while a 125 deg C SAFT result characterizes elevated-temperature adhesive performance. Edgefold and general product assembly are established uses for this polyester hot-melt grade.
Key features
- Moderate open time: Provides a medium relative open time at 200 deg C for hot-melt assembly.
- Low application viscosity: Melt viscosity is 28,000 cP at 215 deg C for hot-melt application.
- Plasticizer migration resistance: Resists plasticizer migration in vinyl-film bonding applications.
Applications
Bonding textiles, vinyl films, wood, edgefold constructions, and general product-assembly substrates.
