Aromatic Binder 100

Aromatic Binder 100 is a 100% solids, slow-cure aromatic binder for upper moderate temperature applications. It is a single component, moisture cure binder for rubber, SBR, EPDM, TPV granules and various rock aggregates.

 Aromatic Binder 100 is a 100% solids, single-component, moisture-cure aromatic binder designed for bonding rubber, SBR, EPDM, TPV granules, and various rock aggregates. It is especially suited for upper moderate temperature applications due to its slow-cure nature.

 This binder is typically used in combination with rubber or granular components such as EPDM or TPV to form flexible surface systems. If a clear color finish is required, Aliphatic Binder 5609 should be used instead, as Aromatic Binder 100 is light amber in color.

 Commonly used in sports surfaces, playgrounds, walking paths, and rubberized safety flooring systems. It is well-suited for outdoor applications where bonding of flexible or elastic materials is required.

·       Installation Surface Requirements: Substrates must be clean, dry, and free of oil or debris.

·       Pot Life / Working Time: Extended working time due to slow-cure characteristics, ideal for detailed application areas.

·       Curing Time: Tack-free in 7–10 hours at 72–75°F (22.2–23.9°C) and 40–50% RH. Full cure time is dependent on ambient temperature and humidity—higher values accelerate curing.

·       Temperature Range: Best storage and application conditions are 75–95°F (24–35°C). Avoid use in excessively humid or wet environments which can affect curing.

·       Shelf Life: 12 months in unopened containers, provided moisture is excluded.

·       Viscosity: 3000 ± 500 cps, suitable for brush, trowel, or mechanical mixing and pouring applications.

·       Tensile Strength: 3800 ± 400 psi (ASTM D-412).

·       Elongation: 450 ± 50%, offering excellent flexibility.

·       Tear Resistance: 500 ± 50 pli (ASTM D-624 Die C).

·       UV Stability: This is an aromatic formulation and not UV stable; use an aliphatic topcoat such as Aliphatic Binder 5609 where UV exposure is a concern.

·       VOC Content: 0 g/L — fully compliant with low-emission requirements.

·       Packaging Options: 5-gallon pail, 55-gallon drum, and 250-gallon tote.
