Product Description
A premium grade, solvent based, brown coloured, single component solvent-based contact adhesive. This product is toluene-free.
Product Uses
Contact Adhesive can be used for bonding cork, leather, rubber, metals, wood, chipboard, hardboard, laminated plastics (e.g. Formica), dense textiles, plaster, stone, concrete, cementitious screeds and smoothing compounds. It will bond rigid PVC and
uPVC sheets but the materials should be checked for suitability prior to application as solvent attack can occur in some instance.
Contact Adhexive may also be used to bond lightweight materials to vertical surfaces and ceilings. It is predominantly designed for interior use but can be used externally when the adhesive is protected from direct sunlight and water.
This product is not suitable for polystyrene, polythene, polypropylene, silicone rubbers, bitumen or PTFE. The solvent in the contact adhesive may attack certain painted or lacquered surfaces.
Application
Stir the glue thoroughly, prior to use, until a uniform consistency is obtained and the material has turned a creamy/brown.
Apply the adhesive to both surfaces being bonded with a notched scraper, brush or trowel to produce a thin film. In cool, damp conditions take care that no condensation takes place on the glue lines as it will affect the adhesive bond. If condensation (evident by a grey "bloom" on the glue) does occur delay bonding until the glue is moisture-free.
If the open time is exceeded, re-apply the adhesive to both surfaces. Leave the adhesive to become touch dry (approx 10-25 minutes depending on drying conditions). Maximum open time for this product is up to 25 minutes, however, it is advisable to make bonds within 20 minutes of adhesive application.
Carefully align pieces to be bonded. For panel products, work from the centre outwards to minimise air entrapment. Press the two surfaces together and apply firm pressure with a hand rubber roller, block and mallet or mechanical press.
Handling and trimming are possible immediately after bonding.
