502 instant dry adhesive is easy to grow white including solvent base silicone adhesive .
Three reasons to account for the whity phenomenon of silicone adhesive.
Reason One : Check with humidity of weather, too much moisture will cause silicone adhesive to hydrolyze and grow white .
Reason two : use the adhesive container , use container which is of the same material as the product packing material .
Reason three: Failure to wash clean the adhesive container or brushes after done using the adhesive .
Four ways to deal with whity of silicone adhesive
1, Check with weather humidity when using the silicone adhesive , the silicone adhesive is sensitive to moisture and easy to hydrolyze and become white , so the humidity is well controllled below 60 degrees to avoid adhesive whity phenomenon . So we suggest , if condition permitting , use moisture remover to avoid such problem.
2, Choose clean washing containers , remember to clean up before next use.
3,The silicone adhesive should be stored in shade place and storage temperature between 20-25 degrees to avoid silicone adhesive incurring chemcial reaction
4 ,The silicone adhesive should avoid contact with substances containing sulfur , phosphorus.
Last week , Our technical man went to customer production sites to check with adhesive whity problem .they ruled out all the possible reasons and it turned out that the operator is a new guy , he use a container which contains sulfur and phosphorus. Our technical man tries with uncapped CL-24C-3 and it worked just all right . Our technical man managed to save the situation .
