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 substrates.
A strong adhesive for weatherstrips and flocking
As market leader in coating and treatment technologies for flexible substrates like EPDM, Stahl offers a range of adhesives to be applied on all known elastomer substrates 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.

RelcaBond® and Adhesion Promotors
| Product | Application | System | Color | Green Solvent | Solids (%) | Description |
| RelcaBond® 821 | Flock Adhesives / Crosslinkers | Solvent 1K | Clear | ✓ | 48 (+/-2) | A single component, BTX- free, HAPSfree adhesive that exhibits superior flock density. The addition of RelcaLink 80 also allows this system to become a 2K and be processed on shorter and hotter extrusion lines |
| RelcaBond® 815 | Flock Adhesives / Crosslinkers | Solvent 2K | Clear | ✓ | 48 (+/-2) | Exhibits all the same qualities as our Relcabond 820 as a two-component block adhesive system, but with improved chemical resistance for molding processing capabilities |
| RelcaBond® 820 | Flock Adhesives / Crosslinkers | Solvent 2K | Clear | ✓ | 72 (+/-2) | A low-VOC, non-staining, BTX-free, HAPs-free flock adhesive with excellent adhesion. It exhibits superior flock density and durability |
| RelcaLink® 80 | Flock Adhesives / Crosslinkers | Crosslinker | Clear | ✓ | 80 (+/-2) | The crosslinking system for our RelcaBond 820 |
RelcaBond® Primers and adhesion promoters for added coating performance
We do not merely want to meet expected requirements; we want to exceed them. That’s why our RelcaBond® portfolio also contains primers and adhesion promoters for added coating performance. These ensure that our solutions offer excellent adhesion to EPDM, green and vulcanized rubbers. Our RelcaBond® 900 is a HAPs-free, mild solvent primer for improved adhesion to any low surface energy substrate. RelcaBond® 620 is water-based and even suitable for wet-on-wet adhesion.
RelcaBond® Primers/Adhesion promoters
| Product | Application | System | Color | APEO Free | Solids (%) | Description |
| RelcaBond® 620 | Primer | Water | Clear | ✓ | 16.5 (+/-2) | This primer is used for improved adhesion to EPDM, TPO, NBR, HDPE, or any lowsurface-energy substrate that is difficult to adhere. Can be applied "wet on wet" |
| RelcaBond® 620 - LS | Primer | Water | Clear | ✓ | 9 (+/-1) | Same as above with lower solids |
