Description

Extended Working Time Adhesive for PVC Trim, Lamination, and Large Assemblies

Chem-Set TrimGrip SS Slow Set is a professional grade, two part methacrylate adhesive engineered for bonding cellular PVC trim, CPVC profiles, engineered plastics, composites, wood, aluminum, stainless steel, and fiberglass. With an extended 12 to 18 minute working time, TrimGrip SS provides the open time fabricators need for precise alignment, large panel lamination, and complex assemblies where faster curing adhesives set too quickly.

TrimGrip SS is ideal for hot climates, large surface bonding, or multi-component assemblies that require longer positioning time. It offers strong adhesion, excellent gap filling, outdoor durability, and UV stability that outperforms competing products like PVC TrimWelder Slow Cure.

This longer open time formula is commonly used as a lamination grade PVC adhesive for bonding large sheets of PVC trimboard, composite panels, and metal facings where controlled placement and proper wet out are critical.
