PRODUCT SPECIFICATION :                      XGS’ SEAM GLUE “D Clear” & SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN”

XGS’ SEAM GLUE “D” & SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN” are moisture curing one-component polyurethane adhesives. They are slow reacting adhesives intended for use in bonding many substrates to the backing material of synthetic grass, during the splicing process on playgrounds and other sporting applications.  SEAM GLUE “D” & SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN” adhesives are aromatic type polyurethane products, which are not UV resistant.

Properties:

Typical viscosity of SEAM GLUE “D” & SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN” adhesives, at 77º F. is 3,000 cps.  At 32º F. temperature, the viscosity is as high as 16,500 cps.  At 100º F., the viscosity is as low as 750 cps.

If your viscosity requirements are 3,000 cps, you should store the GLUE “D” & SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN” under controlled conditions of approximately 77º F.

Application Guidelines:

Before working with this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet. Read the available information on the proper use and handling of this product.

The SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN” product should be mixed thoroughly before each use.

The surface where it will be applied should be free of dirt, oil or any other contaminant that will prevent adhesion. A rough surface will improve the bond.

This product is suitable to be applied by brush, Spraying via airless sprayter or pouring.

Apply a continuous bed of about 1/16” thick x 6” width, approximately 3” per side to be bonded. After application to the substrate, wait about 15 – 25 minutes. Once small bubbles start to develop on the surface of the adhesive, press the artificial grass firmly, applying enough pressure to ensure full contact between both surfaces. Wait about one hour and re-apply pressure again. The pressure applied is dependent upon the different backing material and/or configuration. Wait 48 hours for full cure time.

Since SEAM GLUE “D” & SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN” are moisture-curing adhesives, the humidity in the air, substrate and artificial grass backing will ultimately affect the outcome of the bonding. Extreme temperature variations will also affect the curing process.

It is strongly recommended to familiarize with the product before use on a large scale. The outcome of the finished product will depend on the experience and skill of the person applying it.

Storage:

The shelf life of SEAM GLUE “D” & SEAM GLUE “DC GREEN” adhesive is 3 - 6 months under the following conditions: The adhesive should be stored at 60º-80º F., and protected against any form of moisture in the original unopened container.  It is very important to close the container immediately after dispensing. This is extremely important to reduce moisture absorption.

ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH DIPHENYLMETHANE DIISOCYANATE (ALSO MDI:  METHYL DIPHENYL DIISOCYANATE)

THE INTERNATIONAL ISOCYANATE INSTITUTE HAS RECENTLY SUBMITTED A PRELIMINARY REPORT OF A LONG-TERM INHALATION STUDY CONDUCTED ON POLYMERIC DIPHENYLMETHANE DIISOCYANATE (MDI).  IN THIS STUDY, RATS WERE EXPOSED TO RESPIRABLE AEROSOL PARTICLES OF POLYMERIC MDI FOR 6 HOURS/DAY, 5 DAYS/WEEK, FOR TWO YEARS.  THE CONCENTRATIONS USED WERE:  0 mg/m3 (CONTROL); 0.2 mg/m3 (LOW) 1.0 mg/m3 (MEDIUM); AND 6 mg/m3 (HIGH).  HIGH AND MEDIUM EXPOSURES SHOWED CHRONIC IRRITATION EFFECTS ON THE NOSE AND LUNGS OF THE RATS.  NO IRRITATION WAS SHOWN AT THE LOW DOSE.  A LOW INCIDENCE OF BENIGN TUMORS WAS FOUND IN PRELIMINARY TESTS OF THE MEDIUM AND HIGH EXPOSURE GROUPS.  ONE MALIGNANT TUMOR WAS FOUND IN THE HIGH EXPOSURE GROUP.  THE INCIDENCE OF TUMORS WAS DOSE RELATED.  PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT THE INCREASED INCIDENCE OF TUMORS IN THE LUNGS IS CONCURRENT WITH THE PROLONGED IRRITATION AND ACCUMULATION OF YELLOW FLUID THAT ACCOMPANIES LUNG IRRITATION AT THE MEDIUM AND HIGH LEVELS.  OUR SUPPLIERS NOTE THAT THE TUMOR EFFECTS NOTED IN THIS STUDY WERE INDUCED AT LEVELS, WHICH WOULD NOT BE TOLERABLE IN THE WORKPLACE DUE TO THE IRRITANT AND SENSITIZING PROPERTIES OF MDI.  THEREFORE, THEY FEEL THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO ASSUME THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY PROLONGED EXPOSURE LEADING TO CHRONIC IRRITATION AND LUNG DAMAGE, THE TUMOR FORMATION WOULD BE UNLIKELY.  AT THIS TIME, MDI HAS NOT BEEN LISTED AS CARCINOGENIC BY NTP, IARC, OR OSHA.
