XL4001 PRIMER
| Product Description |
|
Normac XL4001 is a single component, room temperature curing, chloroprene based, liquid rubber metal primer. Normac XL4001 yields high strength adhesion when used with Normac 900R to bond rubber to most metals, such as steel, cast iron, and aluminum . |

| See Normac XL4001 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific handling, safe working practices and hazards. | Normac XL4001 is a flammable product in shipping, storage and application. |
| Application |
| For uniform mixing, cement containers should be agitated or drums rotated before use or repackaging. Stir XL4001 thoroughly before use and occasionally during use to avoid any possible solids separation. Specific application sheets are available for the following: 1. Bonding rubber sheeting to steel. 2. Bonding urethane sheeting to steel. 3. Bonding urethane sheeting with bonding layer to steel. Rubber to Steel: Metallic surfaces must be free of oils, grease or other contaminants. Rust and mill-scale should be removed by grit blasting to NACE #2 near white or better. A profile of 2-3 mils is preferred. The rubber, if cured should have all mould release agents removed and buffed with 24 grit or stiff bristled wire brush at a speed as not to burn the rubber surface. Apply a first coat of Normac XL4001 to the prepared metal surface with a scrubbing-like motion and apply your first coat of Normac 900R to the prepared rubber surface. Allow the coat of Normac XL4001 to dry for at least 1 hour at 21oC. Should the ambient temperature be lower, allow a 50% increase in drying time for every 3oC drop in temperature. In high humidity or low temperatures use a hot air gun to help dry and repel moisture. After the required drying time a second coat of Normac 900R is applied to each surface in a manner as not to disturb the primary coat. Let dry until tacky, adhere both surfaces and stitch down or apply pressure. The maximum bond strength will develop to its optimum in 21 days, however, initial bond strengths will be sufficiently high after 6 hrs. and are ready for most services. Should primed (XL4001) surfaces be left longer than 7 days reprime with XL4001 prior to rubber cement application. Rubber to Other Substrates: for adhering other elastomeric materials or special environmental conditions, please contact our main office. Trials, if possible are recom-mended before production to determine the suitability of this compound with individual materials and to determine the preferred method of application. |
