Properties
ROWAFLEX® X 502 is a blend of emulsifier/plasticizer for thermoplastic hotmelt powders like copolyamide, copolyester, HDPE and polyurethane. This product has a high efficiency dispersing force.
Formulations with ROWAFLEX® X 502
- are easy and fast to prepare
- have positive influence to melt flow characteristic (reduce the fusing parameters)
- free of organic solvents and enviromental friendly
- improve adhesion to various substrates
- improve wash-and DC resistance due to unique chemical structure
- are very efficient, therefore low quantities are required
Application
ROWAFLEX® X 502 is used in waterbased paste formulations. It disperses the powder and gives positive results to adhesion and resistances to various substrates.
For „100 kg ready made paste“ with solid content of 35% only 3.00 – 4.50 kg of ROWAFLEX® 502 is required. It is easy to prepare and has a high solution force in water.
