1. Footwear Industry
- Use: Crosslinking agent for footwear adhesives; bonds difficult-to-adhere materials such as leather, nylon, TPR, PU, and rubber.
- Performance: Improves initial tack, final bond strength, heat resistance (resistance to debonding), water resistance, and aging resistance; especially suitable for white/light-colored footwear (no yellowing).
- Typical formulation: PU adhesive / chloroprene adhesive + 3%–5% RFE (based on solids content).
2. Rubber and Plastic Bonding
- Rubber-to-metal, rubber-to-plastic, rubber-to-fabric composites (e.g., seals, conveyor belts, automotive interiors).
- Enhances the adhesive layer’s tear resistance, vibration resistance, and resistance to chemical media.
3. Automotive Industry
- Interior: Bonding of headliners, carpets, seals, and sound-insulating materials.
- Exterior: Bonding of headlamps, rearview mirrors, and bumper components (heat and weather resistant).
4. Furniture and Woodworking
- Leather/fabric-to-wood and foam-to-frame bonding; improves heat resistance under pressure and aging resistance.
5. Packaging and Lamination
Flexible packaging lamination, film-to-paper/aluminum foil bonding; improves temperature resistance and resistance to adhesive migration.
