From the datasheet

These are the supply and handling details the ADCRYL™ AP 553 datasheet gives.

Using it

• First, dilute with ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons or esters; mixes of aliphatic hydrocarbons can also be used. Solvents must be anhydrous.
• Finally, dry the coating thoroughly in the coating machine: residual solvent lowers the adhesive's performance.

What is ADCRYL™ AP 553?

ADCRYL™ AP 553 is a single-pack, self-cross-linking solvent acrylic PSA with low peel strength, high tack and good removability, made by Advance Adhesives Private Limited in Belagavi, India. Recommended applications: paper masking tape; low peel, high tack, high shear, removable tapes. Typical values are 53 ± 2% solids, a viscosity of 20 – 40 poise, 180° peel adhesion of 250 ± 10% gf/25 mm (PSTC-101, stainless-steel plate), loop tack of 300 – 400 gf/inch, rolling-ball tack of 8 – 12 cm (PSTC-106) and shear resistance of more than 1500 hours (PSTC-107, 25 × 25 mm, 1 kg). Appearance: transparent viscous liquid. It is supplied in 200 or 225 kg drums and has a shelf life of 6 months. below 35 °C.
