Active Play AS H 8018 is a one-component polyurethane adhesive developed on the basis of an MDI mixture with low functionality (2.0–2.2). The product is a liquid ranging in color from amber to dark amber, with a viscosity at 25°C between 2500–4000 mPas. The NCO content is 12.0–13.5%, ensuring excellent application properties and high quality of the resulting bonds.
Active Play AS H 8018 is a dedicated raw material for the production of molded elements, both cold- and hot-formed, using EPDM and SBR rubber granules, including those obtained from recycling processes. Thanks to its carefully balanced chemical composition, it enables the creation of durable and flexible joints, ideal for use in modern rubber processing technologies.
Active Play AS H 8018 is a polyurethane prepolymer designed for bonding recycled materials, among other things. It performs particularly well when bonding black SBR granules—derived from ground-up, used car tires—making it an excellent solution for manufacturers of flexible surfaces and molded rubber components. The product can also be used to bond other shredded materials, such as flexible polyurethane foams, EVA, cork, or gravel.
SBR granules are produced by mechanically cutting car tires. They are characterized by their black color, high abrasion resistance, and excellent weather resistance. Additionally, it exhibits excellent acoustic properties, effectively dampening noise and vibrations. It is a flexible, safe, and water-repellent material, making it ideal for the production of products such as safety panels, underlay mats, road accessories, and sound-absorbing mats.
Before use, the pigmented Active Play AS H 8018 prepolymer must be thoroughly mixed. Next, the SBR rubber granules are moistened with adhesive and placed in a mold. Under the pressure of the press, combined with the effects of temperature and humidity, the product cures, forming a durable and resilient bond.
The properties of the resulting component (e.g., a slab) depend on the size and type of granules, the amount of adhesive used, and—in the case of molding—the degree of compression during curing. This process takes place at temperatures ranging from 70°C to 150°C, and proper selection of parameters such as temperature and humidity allows for a reduction in curing and polymerization times.
The combination of the prepolymer with SBR granules creates a joint with high stiffness while maintaining flexibility and durability. The product is free of volatile organic solvents and has not been classified as posing a risk to the environment under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended.
Active Play AS H 8018 was developed for the production of products made from SBR and EPDM rubber granules, particularly flexible surfaces for playgrounds, fitness centers, gyms, and other items molded from rubber granules.
