RHOPLEX® HA-8

RHOPLEX® HA-8 is a versatile, self-crosslinking, acrylic emulsion recommended for bonding nonwovens. This water-based, hydrophilic binder combines a soft hand with both lotion and wet tensile strengths. Additional characteristics include ease of formulation, excellent runnability, and durability to washing and drycleaning. It is recommended for both rayon and polyester webs including durable and disposable nonwoven applications such as hospital medical end uses, personal hygiene, carrier fabrics, interlinings, and household furnishings.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

Store products in tightly closed original containers at temperatures recommended on the product label.

Handling Information
  • Keep combustible and/or flammable products and their vapors away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition including static discharge.
  • Processing or operating at temperatures near or above product flashpoint may pose a fire hazard.
  • Use appropriate grounding and bonding techniques to manage static discharge hazards.
  • Failure to maintain proper volume level when using immersion heaters can expose tank and solution to excessive heat resulting in a possible combustion hazard, particularly when plastic tanks are used.
