Description

Professional Structural Adhesive for Cellular PVC, CPVC, and Exterior Trim

Chem-Set TrimGrip Medium Set is a two-part methacrylate adhesive formulated specifically for bonding cellular PVC trimboards, CPVC, vinyl, composites, wood, fiberglass, and metals. This professional grade exterior trim adhesive delivers structural strength that commonly exceeds the PVC substrate itself, making it an ideal solution for architectural trim installation, fabrication, and general construction.

TrimGrip is engineered as a premium alternative to PVC TrimWelder, offering better surface wet-out, improved durability, higher resistance to UV exposure, and cleaner finishing. With a reliable 5 to 10 minute working time, installers achieve fast production speeds while maintaining precise part placement.

This medium viscosity, sandable, paintable adhesive is widely used across residential and commercial exterior trim applications using Azek, Versatex, Kleer, Wolf, Koma, and other cellular PVC systems.
