Intended use of Habasit Adhesives

The following table is an overview on Habasit adhesives and their main use for joining and fabrication. It covers with few exceptions all of the current Thermofix joinings of Habasit conveyor and power transmission belting. The respective Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) can be found here. For application details and belt preparation / adhesive processing consult the Joining Data Sheet of the respective belt.

Remarks

Example

Fixol

Methanolic resorcinol solution

Polyamide

All belts (PT and Conveyors) with PA traction layer

Polyamide based products

Fixol E

Ethanolic resorcinol solution

Polyamide

All belts (PT and Conveyors) with PA traction layer

 Polyamide based products

    Vulcol

    Crosslinking rubber in MEK (contact adhesive)

    Rubber part of belting

    Only together with Fixol, for PT and conveyor belts with PA traction layer

    Polyamide

    • Power transmission belts
    • Conveyor belts

    Rubcol A+B

    TPU resin in acetone and isocyanate

    Rubber part of belting

    So far used only together with Fixol. For belts with thick rubber coating (e.g. folder gluers). More flexible and better temperature resistance than Vulcol.
    • HAT-18PWPD
    • HAT-24PWPD
    • Polyamide Folder gluer belts

    Polycol A+B

    TPU resin in ethylacetate and isocyanate

    Polyester and EPDM-rubber; Polycol B also used as EPDM-Primer

    For Thermofix joining of conveyor belts with PET-fabric traction layer. All coatings including rubber are also glued with Polycol (no Vulcol/Polycol combination).
    • HAR-12E
    • HAL-12E
    • TPU conveyor belts
    • PVC conveyor belts

    Silicone-Primer

    Silica organic compound in propanol

    Silicone coated belts

    Primer for "RTV 108Q"
    • FAB-5ER 10
    • WVT-xxx silicone range
    RTV 108Q

    RTV-1 moisture curing silicone

    Silicone coated belts

    Joining silicone belts without thermoplastic layer or coating the TPU of welded fingers on silicone belt surface.

    • FAB-5ER 10
    • WVT-xxx silicone range

    TRS Plasto PU
    TRS Hardener 1000E

     

    TPU resin in acetone and isocyanate

    Gluing (guiding) profiles

    Gluing TPU and PVC guiding/lateral profiles to the running or conveying side of belting.

    V-guide profiles
    Applying covers to belts

    TRS Hardener 1000E

     

    Isocyanate

    EPDM-Primer
    • HAL-12E
    • SAG-12E
    Metall-Kontaktkleber (Balco ME)

    Polychloroprene in ethyl acetate / light naphtha (contact adhesive)

    Applying friction cover to driving pulleys

    Special application

    Shelf Life

    The expiry date is printed in the form mm.yyyy together with the batch number (e.g.: "exp 05.2010" means use before May 2010).

    The expiration date applied to the chemicals supplied by Habasit indicates the time limit for which Habasit is confident that the condition of the chemical will provide optimal results for the task that it is intended perform. Beyond the indicated date, the degree of uncertainty for attaining optimal results exceeds our established confidence level for the chemical to do so as chemical efficacy tends to degrade over time based on relevant storage conditions. Maintaining chemicals in a cool, dark, dry place prior to use will help ensure optimal quality up to date of expiration.
