The attaching to the upper is done by heat reactivation as usual. Heat reactivation process: After the applied Ecostick ® 18201K adhesive is dried (the film must be transparent) the adhesive films must be heated up to 70°C, and then the sole and upper are coupled and immediately pressed. For successful cross linking, it is necessary for both adhesive films on upper and sole to reach 70°C.
Remarks for Ecostick ® 18201K:
When highest heat resistance is requested, it is possible to add Hardener. When used as a pre-coat for soles, textiles or plastic materials, the recommended storage time is up to 15 days without losing tack strength after heat reactivation. In that case, the soles are pre-coated and fully dried (storage up to 3 weeks).
