About Structural Adhesive RK 7200
Structural Adhesive RK 700
Transparent high strength impact resistant, Residual elasticity
WEICON Easy-Mix RK-7200 is a high strength, solvent-free and fast-curing structural adhesive. It is based on MMA (methyl methacrylate) and has an excellent adhesion on many materials. Because of the transparent curing, RK-7200 is particularly suitable for transparent joints where the bonding seam should not be visible. This adhesive can also be used for structural bondings where a coloured adhesive would not fi t optically to the construction parts. Thus, transparent plastics like e. g. acrylic glasss (PMMA) and other materials can be bonded in a clean and appealing way.
Versatile Structural Adhesive SolutionRK 7200 is specifically engineered for a variety of industrial applications, including metal fabrication, composite assembly, and repair of ceramics or plastics. Its high viscosity thixotropic nature prevents sagging on vertical surfaces, ensuring precise application and clean results.
Efficient and Reliable PerformanceThe two-component system cures at room temperature and provides robust bonds within a short time frame, enabling quick throughput in production environments. With a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly, RK 7200 remains reliable for routine maintenance or rapid manufacturing operations.
FAQs of Structural Adhesive RK 7200:
Q: How do I properly mix and apply Structural Adhesive RK 7200?
A: RK 7200 should be mixed in a 1:1 ratio by volume. It is best applied using a dual cartridge system with a static mixer to ensure homogeneous blending. Surfaces should be clean and dry prior to bonding for optimal results.
Q: What are the ideal conditions for applying RK 7200?
A: The adhesive is designed to be applied at temperatures between +10C to +30C. Ensure the work area is within this range to achieve correct curing and maximum bond strength.
Q: When will the bonded parts reach initial fixture strength?
A: RK 7200 has a fixture time of approximately 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature, after which bonded components can be handled or processed further.
Q: Where can I use RK 7200 structural adhesive?
A: This adhesive is suitable for bonding a broad range of substrates, including metal, plastic, ceramics, glass, and compositesmaking it ideal for applications in manufacturing, assembly, or repair across various industries.
Q: What is the benefit of using RK 7200 over traditional fasteners?
A: RK 7200 provides a uniform distribution of stress across bonded surfaces, offering high shear and tensile strength without the need for drilling or welding. It supports gap filling and results in a clean, smooth finish.
Q: How should I store RK 7200 to ensure maximum shelf life?
A: Store the adhesive in its original, unopened packaging in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 5C and 23C. When properly stored, it has a shelf life of 12 months.
