Contact Adhesive Glue Premium Grade High Grab Bonds Cork Tiles Lino Metal Plastics Formica 850ml

Professional Trade Quality Product

A premium grade, solvent-based, neoprene adhesive with high grab and long open time to enable re-positioning. May 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.

Bond It Contact Adhesive is toluene-free.

Application

Can be used for bonding cork, leather, rubber, metals, wood, chipboard, hardboard, laminated plastics (e.g. Formica), dense textiles, plaster, stone, concrete and smoothing compounds. It will bond rigid PVC and PVCu sheets but the materials should be checked for suitability prior to application as plasticiser migration can occur in some instances. NOTE: 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 15-20C/ 60-65%RH. Very smooth surfaces should be abraded to provide an adequate key.

How To Use

• 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, reapply the adhesive to both surfaces.
• Leave the adhesive to become touch dry (approx 10-60 minutes depending on drying conditions).
• Maximum open time for this product is up to 75 minutes, however, it is advisable to make bonds within 30
  minutes of adhesive application.
• Carefully align pieces to be bonded.
• For the 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.

Coverage

– Not suitable for use with polyolefins or acetate fabrics.
– Do not use on soft (plasticised) PVC or polystyrene.
– Do not use on cellulose painted surfaces or on bitumen.
– Not suitable for items that may hold hot liquids.
– Do not use in areas subject to continuous immersion in water.
– Do not use at temperatures below 5C.

Drying Time

Allow up to 60 minutes for the initial set. Bond strength will continue to increase for up to 48 hours after application. 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.
