TrimGrip
Chem-Set TrimGrip™ is a premium line of two-part, methacrylate-based structural adhesives engineered specifically for bonding and laminating cellular PVC trim boards, sheets, and components in residential and commercial construction applications. TrimGrip delivers a high-impact, flexible, and UV-stable bond that permanently welds assemblies together, thriving in harsh exterior environments where traditional mechanical fasteners, tie rods, or solvent cements fail.
Designed for high-end manufacturers, millwork shops, and field installers, the TrimGrip family provides absolute substrate versatility—bonding standard PVC, CPVC, and cellular PVC to itself, as well as to wood, fiberglass, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and select plastics without special surface preparation. With multiple cure speeds, specialized viscosities, and a paintable white profile that perfectly matches premium trim boards, you can easily match the adhesive to your assembly size, temperature conditions, and shop workflow.
TrimGrip in Action
Why Choose TrimGrip?
- Permanent Unitizing Bond: Creates a structural joint with peel and shear strengths that actively exceed the structural limits of the PVC itself.
- UV-Stable & Weatherproof: Specifically compounded to survive extreme thermal cycling, moisture exposure, and outdoor UV rays without yellowing, cracking, or turning brittle.
- Dynamic Flexibility: Advanced structural matrix withstands intense shock loading and allows expansion/contraction between dissimilar materials (like PVC to steel or aluminum).
- Solvent-Free Formulations: Our creamy, non-foaming consistency stays precisely where you place it without running, dripping, or eating into the core skin of unmilled sheets.
- Excellent Gap Filling & Flow: Tailored profiles ranging from thick gap-filling pastes for joints to high flow-out liquids for zero-void face laminations.
TrimGrip Performance Grade Options
| TrimGrip Version | Working Time | Fixture Time | Primary Application Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast Cure | 2–4 minutes | 10–15 minutes | Rapid on-site installations, miter joints, small decorative trim profiles, fast field repairs. |
| Original (Medium Cure) | 5–10 minutes | 20–25 minutes | Most Popular choice. General workshop fabrication, window surrounds, and balanced assembly steps. |
| Lamination Grade | 6–10 minutes | 30 minutes | New Application. Low viscosity for multi-layer lamination of unmilled PVC sheets and boards. Spreads with minimal clamping pressure to guarantee a thin, void-free bond line. Ready to machine in 1 hour. |
| Slow Cure | 12–18 minutes | 45–60 minutes | Massive high-volume column wraps, complex architectural millwork builds, and hot-weather installations. |
