Chemlok 8600 Adhesive
One-coat, water-based adhesive for bonding urethane elastomers to metal
Chemlok 8600 is a versatile, one-coat, water-based adhesive designed for bonding castable urethane elastomers to various metals. Its formulation also allows for strong bonds with a wide range of polyether- and polyester-based urethanes, regardless of hardness. The adhesive is applied in a single coat for most applications, simplifying the process and reducing material costs. The product is also environmentally preferred due to its low VOC emissions.
