Comparison L4000 vs L4002
Comparison of Old and New Version
KIWOPRINT L 4000 and L 4002 are printable pressure sensitive adhesives which crosslink when subjected to 1 min. @ 90°C (194°F) or approximately after 24 hours at room temperature. Both the strength and the VOC content of KIWOPRINT L 4000 have been improved in the form of the newer version called KIWOPRINT L 4002; however, it is important to realized each product has an advantage which may determine which is best for your application.
The Major Differences Between L 4002 & L 4000 are:
| KIWOPRINT L 4002 | KIWOPRINT L 4000 |
| Advantage: The higher solids content produces a thicker, and therefore stronger dry film deposit. | Advantage: The lower solids content produces a thinner film more suited to the ultra thin decals. |
| Stronger due to higher solids content: 50% | 38% |
| A slightly lower VOC: 3.95 lbs./Gal | 4.80 lbs./Gal |
| The price/solids content is the same. | The price/solids content is the same. |
| However, due to the increased solids content, the 4.5kg container price is higher. | However, due to the increased solids content, the 4.5kg container price is lower. |
| Flash point: 28°C / 82.4°F | 25°C / 77°F |
