FLEXcon Company introduces FLEXmount® and FLEXmark® products with V-59FR non-halogenated flame-retardant adhesive for applications requiring flame retardancy within the transportation industry.
High-tack and High-shear Adhesive
V-59FR high-tack and high-shear adhesive provides excellent adhesion to polyester, polypropylene, ABS, stainless steel, polyethylene, polycarbonate, and aluminum surfaces within aircrafts and motor vehicles. V-59FR is recommended for aerospace applications that include floor coverings, textiles (draperies and upholstery), seat cushions, padding, trays, electrical conduits, air ducting and cargo covers.
V-59FR is also recommended for automotive applications that include seat cushions, seat belts, headlining, convertible tops, armrests, trim panels, compartment shelves, head restraints, floor coverings, sun visors, shades, wheel housing covers, and engine compartment covers.
Self-extinguishing, Non-halogenated Adhesive
The new self-extinguishing, non-halogenated adhesive is available on eight standard FLEXmount® and FLEXmark® products – from transfer tapes to polyester and polypropylene, to polyimide and foil.
“
FLEXcon worked with a converter involved in the aerospace market that had quality and lead time challenges from another supplier. Through collaboration, FLEXcon developed this new, self-extinguishing adhesive with superior performance that could greatly reduce the risk of a catastrophic event in environments that are susceptible to combustion. It was a win, win for both,” said Aaron Elman, application development engineer for FLEXcon.
