RelcaBond® Flock Adhesives and Primers for exceptional durability in weatherstrip application

Car manufacturers look for custom-made technologies to meet precise and changing market demands. Solutions like our RelcaBond® Flock Adhesives fit that need with a versatile application and excellent adhesion qualities. This new line of adhesives for bonding flock fibers was developed in close cooperation with our automotive partners to maximize functionality on materials like EPDM rubber and other elastomer materials.

A strong adhesive for weatherstrips and flocking

As market leader in coating and treatment technologies for flexible materials like EPDM, Stahl offers a range of adhesives to be applied on all known elastomer materials for weatherstrips and flocking. With our RelcaBond®  products, we have created a new line of environmentally conscious flock adhesives and adhesion promoters that hold many benefits in application, quality and resistance capacities. As flock adhesive, it is an easy to use, durable and more sustainable option, which makes it the best choice when it comes to product development that is driven towards environmentally conscious low-VOC, HAPs-free products.

Key benefits of our RelcaBond®  flock adhesives

When compared to competitive products, RelcaBond®  demonstrates excellent adhesion properties, superior flock density and durability. Unique in their high solids chemistry with both 1K and 2K options available, RelcaBond®  Flock Adhesives and adhesion promoters have excellent flexibility, chemical resistance and enhanced density. To achieve maximum performance, it is recommended to apply RelcaBond®  products at a 35-micron minimum dry film thickness.
