Aromatic Binder 2000

Aromatic Binder 2000 is a 100% solid, aromatic, single component, moisture cure binder for rubber, SBR, EPDM, TPV granules and various rock aggregates. It has low viscosity for topcoat and resurfacing uses and is not designed for mixing with rubber or other granules for troweling purpose.

 Aromatic Binder 2000 is a 100% solids, aromatic, single-component, moisture-cure binder used primarily for bonding rubber, SBR, EPDM, TPV granules, and various rock aggregates. It is specifically designed for topcoat and resurfacing systems and is not suitable for mixing with rubber or granules for troweling purposes.

 Aromatic Binder 2000 is a standalone binder system designed for use with rubber and rock granules. It does not require or recommend blending with other binders or coatings in the system. No specific primers or topcoats are listed for use with this product.

 This material is suitable for use in playground surfacing, walkways, athletic tracks, and other recreational or light-traffic surfaces where rubber or aggregate binding is needed. It is especially beneficial in areas requiring cold temperature flexibility and freeze-thaw resistance.

 The surface must be dry and free of all debris prior to application. Aromatic Binder 2000 can be applied using a roller or spray method. Cure time depends significantly on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. It cures faster in high temperature/high humidity conditions and slower in low temperature/low humidity environments.

·       Viscosity: 950 ± 100 cps

·       Pot Life: Not specified, but it is a moisture-cure product, so it begins reacting upon exposure to air.

·       Curing Time: Variable, based on ambient conditions.

·       Full Cure Time: Not explicitly stated.

·       Application Temperature Range: Best stored at 75–95°F (24–35°C). Avoid high temperatures or moisture during storage.

·       UV Stability: Not UV stable – this is an aromatic binder and likely to discolor if exposed to UV.

·       VOC Content: 0 g/L

·       Coverage: Not directly specified; varies based on substrate and aggregate load.

·       Thickness Range: Not applicable as it binds granules/aggregates; not used as a standalone coating measured in mils.

 Aromatic Binder 2000 is free of MDI and TDI, making it safer from a toxicity standpoint compared to traditional polyurethanes. The binder contains isocyanates, so appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn during application. It comes in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, and 250-gallon totes. The product has a 12-month shelf life when stored in factory-sealed containers and under recommended temperature conditions.
