GLUES AND ADHESIVES

These are some of the glues and adhesives that have been used to bond SHOCKtec padding to other materials. Some glues and adhesives react differently to different materials. They should be tested on a small portion of the materials first and used according to the manufacturer requirements. It may be necessary to test a number of glues to find the one that works best for you. If you have any question concerning glues and adhesives contact Kemmler Products, Inc. at 1-888-411-3884.
     

   

1. Ortec by Renia - Polychloroprene cement for bonding many materials  used by orthopaedic shoe technicians, pedorthists and foot orthotists. Not for PVC. Free of Toluene  10 to 40 min set time

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
  1. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
    Product Name** SHOCKtec Gel (Kemmler VDP original polymer)
    Product Code** Dry Viscoelastic Polymer w/film and foam chemical family
    ** Polyurethane Viscoelastic Polymer Appearance
    Products are of various configurations comprising dry viscoelastic polymer contained within a polyurethane film. Contains polyurethane foam.
  2. HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
    NONE
  3. PHYSICAL DATA
    The dry viscoelastic polymer contained inside has shore 00 hardness less than zero and is fungus resistant by ASTM D1924-63. The elastic film containing the polymer has tensile strength of 6000 PSI and elongation of 300%. The padding may be washed with water containing detergent and sanitized with any agent used in hospitals for this application.
  1. FIRE DATA
    The elastic film which contains the dry viscoelastic softens at about 275 degrees F. The combination of dry viscoelastic polymer and the containing elastic film is rated as self-extinguishing by the ASTM D1692-68.
    Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Chemical Foam, and Water
  2. HUMAN HEALTH DATA
    Primary routes of entry ** Ingestion. Note- Products have been in use for 20 years in the form of wheelchair cushions and bed pads with no deleterious effects to humans.
  3. HUMAN EFFECTS
    Inhalation ** None
    Ingestion ** No study has been made
    Eye Contact ** None
