Applications & Uses

Application Area
Application

Substrates to be bonded shall be clean and free from moisture, dirt, oil and other contaminants. Very smooth surfaces should be lightly abraded. Position material on floor or wall and mark area. This will be used as guidelines to which adhesive will be applied. Adhesive is applied by brushing. Apply adhesive evenly to both surfaces. Avoid heavy or excessive applications. When applying contact adhesives to porous materials such as plywood and edges, it is advisable to apply two coats. Apply the first coat and allow to dry. This will act as a sealer. When dry apply the second coat and allow to dry properly before bonding. This helps to ensure that the adhesive will not soak into the board and that there is the proper amount on the surface to achieve a strong, permanent bond. Allow the adhesive to properly dry before bonding. When dry, adhesive will not transfer to finger. Normal dry time is 20 - 40 minutes, but will vary depending on temperature, humidity and coat weight. Dry time can be reduced using air movement. Bonds can be made as soon as the adhesive is dry. Carefully position material along guidelines. A strong bond is achieved instantly upon contact. Once adhesive is dry, materials shall be positioned into adhesive within 90-minutes. After material is positioned, roll area with a hand roller to ensure contact over the entire bonded area.

Clean-up

Remove wet adhesive immediately with a clean cloth dampened with mineral spirits, isopropanol or acetone. Cured adhesive is very difficult to remove. Do not apply solvents directly to flooring. Use caution when handling flammable solvents.
