Solvent-Free Contact Adhesive: Merbenit MS Contact Adhesive
Is there a bonding technique that is environmentally responsible yet maintains productivity levels?
Samaro and its partner Merbenit have launched an innovative new MSP adhesive that does away with solvent-based contact adhesives.
Neoprene adhesives consist of 20-30% dry matter (active ingredient) and 70-80% solvents (VOCs). The MSP contact adhesive offered by Samaro and Merbenit provides the same mechanical performance as neoprene adhesives but with 100% active ingredient and without the need for double bonding and solvent evaporation times (drying time).
It makes bonding much easier and better for worker health.
