The Level 1 platform is designed to bond to substrates including PU ether, PU ester, cross-linked PE foam and microcellular urethane and withstands temperatures up to 200°F. Two options exist in the Level 1 platform and include:
The Level 2 adhesive platform provides slightly higher temperature resistance (up to 225°F) and bonds well to PU ether, PU ester, cross-linked PE foam, neoprene foam, nitrile foam, and microcellular urethane. The four Level 2 adhesive options include:
