Resulting Properties
This specific adhesive formulation is recommended for use as a foam-to-fabric or foam-to-foam laminating adhesive. It will provide the following properties:
- Especially suitable as an adhesive for laminating because of its excellent “wet-peel” strength
- The Rhoplex E-32 does not swell during dry cleaning
- Provides soft to immediate hand
- Durability to washing and dry cleaning
The adhesive will provide good bond strength to a variety of natural and synthetic fibers as well as to polyurethane and other foams.
