Item Description

Description

A premium grade, solvent based, brown coloured, single component solvent-based contact adhesive.

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.

Bond It CONTACT ADHESIVE 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.

Preparation

Surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry and free from dust, grease or contaminants that may hinder adhesion. Whenever possible, materials should be conditioned overnight in ambient conditions of 15-

20oC/ 60-65%RH. Very smooth surfaces should be abraded to provide an adequate key.

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.

Drying Time

Allow 10-15 minutes to dry. Do not use infrared heaters or mechanical blowers as the product contains solvent and is highly flammable. Total drying time depends upon ambient temperature and the thickness coverage of the adhesive.

Storage Conditions

Containers must be kept sealed and stored under cover, away from sources of heat and ignition. Keep out of direct sunlight at a temperature of between 5- 35oC. The product should not be stored in accordance with the ‘Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquified Petroleum Gases Regulations (1972)’.

Storage Life

12 months under good storage conditions in original, unopened containers.
