HYSOL 1942

Main features

  • 30-Second Assembly Open Time
  • Wood and Multi-Plastic Bonding
  • High-Elongation Hot-Melt Performance

Product Description

TECHNOMELT 1942 is an EVA-based, medium-setting hot-melt adhesive for general-purpose bonding of wood and plastics including nylon, polycarbonate, PVC, polystyrene, ABS, and acrylic. The one-part material has a typical viscosity of 5,000 cP at 350 deg F, a 30-second open time, and a 198 deg F softening point. Typical material data include 250 psi tensile strength, 500% elongation, and dielectric strength above 1,100 V/mil. This balance of open time, substrate range, and material properties suits general-purpose wood and plastic bonding.

Key features

  • Thirty-second open time: Typical open time is 30 seconds for prompt part assembly.
  • Wood and plastic adhesion: The adhesive bonds wood and multiple engineering and commodity plastics.
  • High elongation: Typical elongation is 500% by ASTM D638.

Applications

Bonding wood, nylon, polycarbonate, PVC, polystyrene, ABS, acrylic, and other supported substrates.

Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application

General Properties
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Mechanical Properties
Elongation
Elongation is the process of lengthening something. It is a percentage that measures the initial, unstressed, length compared to the length of the material right before it breaks. It is commonly referred to as Ultimate Elongation or Tensile Elongation at break.
