Vulcabond® bonding agents are used in PVC plastisols when coated onto polyester or nylon fabrics to prevent material failure caused by delamination of the PVC coating. They are single component bonding agents for ease of use in applications such as marquees, awnings, tarpaulins, conveyor belting, outdoor clothing and printed tee shirts.

| VULCABOND KB | Vulcabond KB is a 30% solution of isocyanurate trimer in dibutylphthalate. The higher concentration offers the processor the choice of a lower addition level than is necessary for Vulcabond VP. The comments made above regarding the handling of Vulcabond VP and selection of plastisol components also apply to Vulcabond KB. |
| VULCABOND VP | Vulcabond VP is a 25% solution of isocyanurate trimer in dibutylphthalate (DBP). It is a highly effective bonding agent, especially easy to use due to its low viscosity. The efficiency of Vulcabond VP will be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to atmospheric moisture. For maximum performance it is necessary for the processor to make a careful selection of the PVC resin and the other components which are to be used in the bond coat plastisol formulation. |
