Tyco Electronics Corporation Specification RT-1050/6 300 Constitution Drive This Issue: Issue 4 Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA Date: May 14, 1999 Replaces: Issue 3 THERMOFIT ADHESIVE AND SEALANT THERMOFIT S-1030 Thermofit S-1030 is a general purpose, flexible, thermoplastic adhesive based on a modified polyolefin composition and is supplied in tape form (3/4 x.01 x33 feet). It is also furnished as a coating on the interior of molded parts in accordance with the applicable specification control drawings. This material was developed to bond Thermofit heat- shrinkable products where flexibility is desired at low temperatures. Thermofit S-1030 adhesive bonds to many materials such as polyolefins, neoprene and to many metals such as steel and aluminum.
