Features

Versatile

N/A Provides a wide range of product applications by functioning as a primer to a variety of polar substrates and as an adhesive for reaction injection molding (RIM) of polyurethane to glass.

Easy to Apply

N/A Applies easily by spray, dip or polyester felt applicator.

Convenient

N/A Requires only a single coat for most applications, reducing labor, solvent usage, inventory and shipping costs.

Applications

Surface Preparation

N/A To ensure optimum adhesion to glass, clean the bond surface with a vinegar-modified glass cleaner. For other applications, wipe surface with a suitable solvent.

Mixing

N/A No mixing is required before or during use. Dilution is not required.

Applying

N/A Apply LORD® AP-134 adhesion enhancer/surface modifier by spray, dip or polyester felt applicator. For optimum adhesion, the dry film thickness should be 0.06-0.10 mil (1.52-2.54 micron).

Drying/Curing

N/A Allow adhesion enhancer/surface modifier to hydrolyze in moist air (50-80% RH) at 70-90 ºF (21-32 ºC) for 1-2 hours. To reduce the hydrolysis time, parts can be cured in an oven at 190 ºF (88 ºC) for 3 minutes. Air being drawn into the oven should be 50-80% RH. The cure time can vary depending on the mass of the part being primed. Large parts require more time in an oven to complete cure, due to the heat sink effect of the larger mass.

For best adhesion, apply top coat or encapsulating polymer within 24 hours after adhesion enhancer/surface modifier cures.

Cleanup

N/A Use toluene or alcohol to remove wet adhesion enhancer/surface modifier. Remove cured adhesion enhancer/surface modifier by mechanical abrasion, blasting or grinding methods.
