Precote reactive coatings are adhesives. These adhesives are based on the patented omnitechnik micro-encapsulation technology. Salient features of these reactive coatings include: welltried multi-component acrylate systems are enclosed by thin polymeric wall. By integrating the individual micro-encapsulated components into lacquer type binders, this precote is formed. After applying precote in its liquid form and drying, the dry, fast-to-handle and corrosion-inhibiting coating is formed. The microcapsules are ruptured by pressure and/or shearing loads, when the threaded parts coated with precote are assembled, the liquid content mixes and cures with the binder system. Thus, the desired locking and sealing effect is produced. Reactive precote coatings are adhesives and these adhesives are applied in achieving the highest possible locking properties and an extreme sealing effect. In order to allow these advantages, the products have to pass a chemical reaction [in most cases a polymerisation], that is triggered upon installation. Before the component can be used, the specified curing time must be observed. Precote reactive material meets the specifications fo din 267 part 27.
