Product Description
|
| |
SIMALFA® 800 is a roll able, one-part, water based
adhesive that bonds
instantly. It is simple to
use, offers speed for
increased profitability, and
conforms to the many
changing environmental
regulations.
Simalfa bonds porous
substrates to themselves or
to non-porous substrates. It
is exceptional for bonding
flexible polyurethane foam,
latex foam, fabric,
polyester fiber, wood,
plastic, cardboard, jute,
rubber, metal, and many
other porous materials.
Simalfa is widely used in
foam fabrication,
bedding,
furniture,
transportation,
packaging and
other industries where
foams and/or porous substrates are
common.

Surface Preparation |
| |
Surfaces must be clean, dry and dust
free. Any petroleum based product such
as oil or grease can prevent suitable
bonding.
|
| |
Application |
| |
Never agitate or mix before using.
Adhesive can be applied to both surfaces
with a Simalfa roll machine. However, in
most instances, single sided application
is the preferred method.
|
| |
Coverage |
| |
Coverage will vary depending on the
porosity of substrates and strength of
adhesive bond desired. Typical users
will cover up to 1000 square feet per
gallon. In all cases, user evaluation
will be required to determine the
optimum coverage levels for their
application.
|
| |
Assembly and Bonding Time |
| |
Simalfa bonds immediately after
applying. Users can reposition the
substrates, to maximize the quality of
their product, without re-spraying.
Pressure may be applied via manual or
mechanical methods to enhance the
initial bond. In addition, the user can
place the substrates together up to 20
minutes after spraying if required by
their production process. After 20
minutes the adhesive may dry and the
final adhesion can suffer, or a
pseudo-adhesion could take place.
The final bond is achieved once the
residual water has evaporated. Although
water evaporation happens quickly, it is
recommended users wait 24 hours before
performing any final bond testing.

Application Method and Equipment |
| |
SIMALFA is best dispensed via our
patented Free Flowing gravity delivery
system and applied with our Simalfa roll
machines. We can supply all the
necessary design, engineering and
equipment to properly install and use
SIMALFA.
|
Application Method: |
Simalfa roll machine |
|
Secondary Application
Method: |
Manual or automatic spray,
brush, or hand rolling |
|
Method of Dispensing: |
Free Flowing System
(Patent#: 5868319) or
pressure container. DO
NOT PUMP |
|
Other Information: |
All parts coming in contact
with adhesive must be made
of
stainless steel or plastic.
Definitely NO colored
metals, aluminum, steel,
brass, etc. |
|
Cleaning of Equipment: |
Use water only. Never use
solvents of any type.
DO NOT SUBMERGE SPRAY GUN
IN WATER
|
|
| |
Cleanup |
| |
In some cases wet adhesive may be
removed with water. Dry adhesive cannot
be removed from porous substrates such
as foams or fabrics. It is recommended
that users prevent adhesive from getting
on surfaces where it’s not wanted.
