Rhinotech RMC 4 RhinoMite Catalyst - 2oz
Professional two-part adhesive catalyst formulated for use with Rhinotech RhinoMite screen frame adhesives, providing proper curing, high bond strength, and dependable mesh-to-frame adhesion.
Characteristics
Rhinotech RMC-4 RhinoMite Catalyst – 2 oz. is the catalyst component used with compatible RhinoMite two-part screen frame adhesive systems. When mixed with RhinoMite adhesive at the specified ratio, RMC-4 initiates the curing process required to develop a strong, durable bond between screen printing mesh and the frame.
Designed for professional screen stretching and screen-making applications, the RMC-4 Catalyst supports the high tensile strength, impact resistance, and solvent resistance of the RhinoMite adhesive system. This makes it well suited for screens that must withstand demanding printing, cleaning, and reclaiming environments.
RMC-4 is mixed with compatible RhinoMite adhesive at approximately 1.5% catalyst by weight. Rhinotech specifies approximately 64 grams of catalyst per gallon of RhinoMite adhesive and 20 grams per quart.
The 2 oz. package is the catalyst size supplied with gallon-size RhinoMite adhesive systems. Once properly catalyzed, RhinoMite adhesive dries rapidly, generally in approximately 8–15 minutes, while the bond continues curing after the screen is removed from the stretching equipment.
RMC-4 is an aromatic isocyanate catalyst and requires appropriate handling and personal protective equipment. Users should review and follow the current Safety Data Sheet before handling or mixing the product.
