Trapylen® 112 S is a chemically modified chlorinated polypropylene that stands out as a low-chlorinated variant with exceptional affinity to polyolefinic plastics, including PP, PP/EPDM-blends, and, to a limited extent, PE. Distinguished by a higher molecular weight and a narrow molecular weight distribution compared to other modified chlorinated types, Trapylen® 112 S finds versatile applications. It can be employed as a straight primer or as an adhesion promoter for base coats and pigmented primers. Its primary use is in paintings and coatings for molded parts, as well as sealing profiles in the automotive industry, exemplified in applications such as bumpers, side panels, and door seals.

Product Applications
  • Using TRAPYLEN® 112 S as a primer dissolve the resin in xylene to 5 % solids. This primer can be applied by spraying, dipping, brushing or printing.
  • Drying conditions: 30 s at 80 °C, residual quantity of resin about 3...4 g/m².
  • When using TRAPYLEN® 112 S as adhesion promoter in base coats/pigmented primers, the compatibility of the system must be checked.
  • The resulting base coat can be applied by spraying, dipping, brushing or printing if the system allows it. Drying conditions: Usually 30 min at 80 °C, residual quantity about 15 g/m².

Properties
  • TRAPYLEN® 112 S is a chemically modified low chlorinated polypropylene with outstanding affinity to polyolefinic plastics such as PP, PP/EPDM-blends and, with limitations to adhesion strength, to PE. Compared to other modified chlorinated types it has a higher molecular weight and a narrow molecular weight distribution.
  • TRAPYLEN® 112 S is used either as a straight primer or as an adhesion promoter for base coats and pigmented primers. Its principal use is in paintings/coatings for moulded parts and sealing profiles in the automotive industry, such as bumpers, side panels and door seals.
  • TRAPYLEN® can also be used in adhesives and flocking agents for door seals. Furthermore it is used in industrial applications where PP based plastics are chemically pretreated.
