ThreeBond’s 1530 product is a one-part, non-solvent elastic adhesive whose main component is a silyl-based special polymer which reacts rapidly upon exposure to moisture in the air and cures to form a toughened elastomer with time.
Since there are no solvents or plasticisers contained in the adhesive it shows excellent non-staining characteristics against all materials and is over paintable.
It provides weather resistance, high adhesion strength to most substrates without the need for primer pre-treatment, and is environmentally friendly due to its low odour and non-isocyanate chemistry.
This makes it ideal for multi-purpose bonding of metals (aluminium, steel, stainless, copper, plastics (polyacrylate, PPO, ABS, nylon, PC, FRP, PET, PPS, PBT etc. ) as well as many, many others such as wood, glass, canvas and rubbers from chloroprene and EPDM to silicone.
TB1530 can also be used for sealing and potting of electronic/electrical assemblies for which conventional RTV rubbers have been used. However, as no low-molecular siloxanes are produced during curing it will not corrode metals nor impair electrical contacts.
TB1530 is highly elastic with good peel strength, coupled to excellent impact/vibration resistance and does not require UV or thermal curing facilities.
Its high initial adhesive strength means that no temporary jig fixing is required, with fixturing strength available immediately (following adhesive spread and 5 minute dwell time prior to assembly), handling strength comes within 20 minutes and full cure is achieved within 24 hours.
