Ricoband 7004 Textile Treatment and Adhesion to Sulfur Cured Rubber

Cray Valley has developed a series of aqueous dispersions for functionalized resins including Ricobond 7004. When mixed with other water-based emulsions, Ricobond 7004 can increase rubber adhesion to textile and metal substrates and improve chemical resistance. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of Ricobond 7004 allow for interaction between polar and non-polar substrates. The dispersion shows good compatibility when formulated with other latexes such as styrene butadiene (SB) and styrene butadiene vinyl pyridine (VP) emulsions. Formulating with standard latexes can reduce surface tack while improving adhesion, water resistance, and acid and base resistance.

DiamondKote Aerosol Mold Releases

ITW Fluids North America has introduced three new water-based aerosol mold releases for high performance polymers. DiamondKote DKW-4013A is designed for use in molding silicone (VMQ) and HNBR elastomers. DiamondKote DKW-4064 is designed for use in the molding of various peroxide-cured elastomers such and EPDM and FKM. DiamondKote DKW04080 is designed for use in the molding of fluoroelastomers. All three products can be effectively used in the molding of high performance elastomeric products such as seals, gaskets, and diaphragms.
