• Failure mode is fiber tear (corrugated rips)
• Able to with stand supply chain (all temperatures)
• Must be able to be manually or automatically applied

 Loading Guidelines

 Peel force: 0.4 lbs/inch

Horizontal shear force (“bulldoze”): 7 lbs/inch (0.3 coefficient of friction-OptiLedge and unit)

 Adhesives

 We have successfully tested hot-melt and PSA hot-melt and recommend the following:

 IFS ‘DURAPRO’ M-751.This is a hot melt with a long open time allowing for efficient application of the OptiLedge.

 IFS ‘DURAPRO’ M-739. This is a PSA hot melt adhesive. It can be applied to the OptiLedges and it will remain tacky. You can use this with a release liner to create a “peel and stick” OptiLedge application.

Please contact http://www.ifscos.com to purchase.

 Application

 Glue machinery suppliers can provide more detailed recommendations for use with these adhesives but we recommend spray equipment for efficient and quick application.
