Request pricing, technical documents, or application guidance.

Product and materials

Chemlok BM-1 promotes adhesion of nitrile rubber (NBR) to metal during rubber vulcanization. Suitable metals include steel, stainless steel and aluminum-, iron- or copper-based alloys.

It provides resistance to heat, water, salt spray, oils and various solvents. Confirm the required resistance under the actual service conditions.

Surface preparation and coating

Remove oils, grease, rust and oxide layers from the metal using appropriate chemical or mechanical preparation. Apply by brush, dip or roll coating to obtain a uniform film without runs or tears.

Dilution is generally unnecessary. If required, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or anhydrous ethanol may be used.

Drying and vulcanization

Dry coated parts in clean air for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for approximately 5–10 minutes at 60–80°C in a hot-air oven.

The recommended vulcanization-temperature range is 140–180°C. Vulcanization time depends on the rubber formulation; the drying times above do not define the vulcanization cycle.

Typical properties

Property Typical value
Appearance Clear to slightly cloudy liquid, pale yellow to red-brown
Density 820–900 kg/m³

Typical values are for reference, not product specifications. Confirm the NBR formulation, metal preparation and vulcanization cycle for the intended component.
