Ideal for permanent bonding. No stitching required. Better performance on oily leathers and difficult materials.</li> <li><strong>Uses</strong>: Ideal for coupling and folding leather, hybrid leather, fabrics, canvas, cardboard, for gluing EVA, nylon, PVC, rubber, greasy leather with grease level up to 15%. Great where no stitching is required.</li> <li><strong>Open Time</strong>: 30 minutes</li> <ul> <li>Once glue is applied you have 30 minutes of sticky, cold bonding. After 30 minutes you can reactivate glue for 8-10 seconds at 60°-70° Celsius (140°-160° Fahrenheit). Reactivation can be done for up to 48 hours.</li> </ul> <li><strong>Color</strong>: Clear transparent. Even with aging the glue does not turn yellow, remains transparent. Therefore, it is recommended on lighter color materials.</li> <li><strong>Instructions for use:</strong> Apply the adhesive on both sides. For cold bonding, let dry for ~20 minutes then couple both sides and press together. If more then 20 minutes go by, reactivate glue at 60°-70° Celsius (140°-160° Fahrenheit), then couple and press together. Final strength reached at ~4 days.</li> <li><strong>Application tools</strong>: Can be sprayed with a spray machine or applied by a brush or spatula.</li> </ul> </ul> <div dir="auto"> <ul> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>9015STHV</strong></span></li> <ul> <li><strong>Strength</strong>: Medium. Ideal for stitched goods, where the glue couples and prepares two sides before stitching. </li> <li><strong>Uses</strong>: Ideal for coupling and folding leather, hybrid leather, fabrics, canvas, cardboard. Great in the production of belts, shoe uppers, bags, wallets, heels, insoles, and more.</li> <li><strong>Open Time</strong>: 2-4 hours</li> <ul> <li>Once glue is applied you have ~4 hours of sticky, cold bonding. After 4 hours you can reactivate glue for 8-10 seconds at 60<span>°</span>-70<span>°</span> Celsius (140<span>°</span>-160<span>°</span> Fahrenheit). Reactivation can be done for up to 48 hours.</li> </ul> <li><strong>Color: </strong>Clear transparent. Over time glue will slightly yellow.</li> <li><strong>Instructions for use</strong>: Apply the adhesive to both sides. Let dry until the film of the adhesive becomes transparent. If more then 4 hours go by, reactivate glue at 60<span>°</span>-70<span>°</span> Celsius (140<span>°</span>-160<span>° </span>Fahrenheit) couple and press together.

So 85% evaporates.</li> <li>(Intercom) Water based is 50% glue content, and 50% water.</li> <li>(Intercom) 3x more concentrated, so you need a lot less. You need to apply a lot of Barge because it is mostly VOC.</li> <li>Even though the price of (Intercom) water based is higher, (Barge) Solvent glue is actually more expensive by volume as it is less concentrated and therefore you need more glue during application. And when using a spraying system you can save up to 5x the amount of glue, as spraying is more efficient than hand application.</li> <li>(Intercom) Water based can be reheated if dried. See glue descriptions for more info.</li> <li>(Intercom) Water based glue does not effect leather grain color.</li> <li>(Intercom) Water based keeps the leather flexible and soft, unlike solvent glues that will stiffen leather.</li> <li>(Intercom) Water based glue systems require significantly less maintenance.</li> <li>The strength of water based glue can be permanent or non-permanent and can reach equal strengths to solvent based glues. </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div dir="auto">Made in Italy</div> <div dir="auto">Shelf life = 1 year</div>
