Product features and applications
Titebond ReacTITE EP-980 is a two-component EPI adhesive for manufacturing SIPs and structural insulated panels. The emulsion is used with Hardener 200 and conventional cold-press equipment. The system offers a long working time, low foaming and resistance to heat, water and solvents.
- For SIP panel manufacturing
- EPI emulsion with Hardener 200
- Low foaming
- For cold pressing
Application and preparation
Mixing ratio by weight: 100 parts EP-980 emulsion to 15 parts Hardener 200. Weigh components accurately and follow the technical and Safety Data Sheets.
Adhesive system for SIP panels
ReacTITE EP-980 is designed for manufacturing structural insulated panels by bonding the panel facings to the insulation core. The base materials and their combination must suit the manufacturing process. This industrial two-component adhesive is used as a system with Hardener 200; the emulsion alone does not replace the prepared mixture.
Mixing and production control
Calculate component quantities by weight. Do not replace the 100:15 ratio with equal numbers of packs or estimate it by eye. Mix uniformly, apply at the approved spread rate and press according to the panel manufacturing process. Working time depends on temperature and mixture conditions.
The manufacturer references AC05 and ASTM D-7446 standards for SIPs. Final panel compliance also depends on its design, materials and production control. When handling the hardener, follow the protection and ventilation requirements in the Safety Data Sheet.
