Aliphatic Binder 8000

Aliphatic Binder 8000 is a chlorine-resistant aliphatic isocyanate, single component, moisture cure binder for mixing with rubber, SBR, EPDM, TPV and pebble materials. It is designed for swimming pool areas and water park applications.

 Aliphatic Binder 8000 is a single-component, chlorine-resistant aliphatic isocyanate binder designed for use in water-sensitive environments. It serves as a moisture-cure binder for rubber, SBR, EPDM, TPV, and pebble-filled systems. Its primary applications are in swimming pool decks, splash pads, and water park surfaces.

 This material is intended to be used as a binder component within rubberized or composite surfacing systems. It is compatible with rubber granules and pebble-based materials, forming a resilient surface layer. No separate primer is mentioned, but the binder must be applied to a clean, dry surface.

 Ideal for exterior use in aquatic environments where chlorine resistance, freeze-thaw durability, and UV stability are required. Typical installations include splash pads, pool decks, and wet playgrounds.

·       Method of Application: Can be applied with a roller or spray.

·       Surface Requirements: Must be clean, dry, and free of debris.

·       Cure Time: Dependent on ambient humidity and temperature; high temperature and/or low humidity accelerates cure time, while low temperature and/or high humidity will slow it.

·       Coverage Rate: Not explicitly stated, but dependent on substrate porosity and thickness of the rubber/aggregate matrix.

·       Pot Life: Not specified; being a moisture-cure single component, the product begins curing upon exposure to ambient air.

·       Full Cure Time: Not listed; however, typical cure progression is influenced by environmental conditions.

·       Shelf Life: 12 months in factory-sealed containers when stored at 75–95°F (24–35°C). Exposure to moisture or higher temperatures reduces shelf life.

·       Viscosity: 4850 ± 500 cps

·       VOC Content: 0 g/l

·       Hardness: 80 ± 2 Shore A

·       UV Stability: Contains enhanced UV stabilizers, classified as non-yellowing and suitable for exterior use.

·       Temperature Range for Storage/Use: Storage between 75–95°F. Installation should avoid extreme humidity or temperature extremes.

·       Mechanical Properties:

o   Tensile Strength: 3000 ± 200 psi

o   Elongation (ASTM D-412): 200 ± 25%

o   Tear Resistance (ASTM D-624): 250 ± 25 pli

Safety Considerations:

 Contains isocyanates. Users must wear protective equipment and avoid contact with eyes and skin. SDS is available for safe handling.
