Description
Ultra-Fast Structural Adhesive for Cellular PVC, CPVC, Metal, and Exterior Trim
Chem-Set TrimGrip FS Fast Set is a professional grade, two-part methacrylate adhesive designed for fast paced PVC trim installation, fabrication, and assembly. With a rapid 2 to 4 minute working time and fixture strength in as little as 6 minutes, TrimGrip FS delivers the speed that high volume installers and fabricators demand while maintaining the high bond strength, UV stability, and substrate versatility that the TrimGrip line is known for.
Formulated for both interior and exterior architectural components, TrimGrip FS bonds cellular PVC, CPVC, wood, metals, fiberglass, composites, and engineered polymer materials. It is widely used as a superior alternative to PVC TrimWelder Fast Cure, offering comparable speed with better surface wetting, stronger adhesion to PVC and metals, and improved UV durability.
This fast setting adhesive is ideal for installers who need to keep jobs moving without sacrificing joint quality, appearance, or long term performance.
