Product Description

Jowat has launched a high-performance adhesion promoter for ABS edgebands: A newly developed solvent-based primer for high requirements in the manufacturing of edgebands, especially with regard to occupational safety and environmental protection. Jowat® 408.40 is a primer with a chlorine-free formulation, without any addition of toluene, Tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N-ethyl-pyrrolidone (NEP). Its applications are in the field of edgeband production. When processed correctly, the performance of Jowat® 408.40 on ABS substrates is considerably superior compared to standard PU primers. This is due to the solvents in the formulation that can detach PU polymers and also facilitate the gentle etching of the styrene in ABS materials.
Due to the substitution of toluene, THF, NMP and NEP, the primer is marked only with GHS02 & GHS07.

Therefore, the following H statements are not required for this primer:
■ H351: Suspected of causing cancer.
■ H360Df: May damage the unborn child. Suspected of damaging fertility.

Primers containing toluene, NEP, NMP and THF can still be sold in general. Jowat® 408.40, however, fully complies with the rule of substitution according to the legislation on hazardous substances and facilitates more environmentally and health-friendly Systems.
