Description
Extended Open Time, High-Performance, UV-Stable Adhesive for Exterior Trim Applications
Chem-Set TrimGrip SS (Slow-Set) is a professional-grade, two-part methacrylate adhesive engineered for permanently bonding cellular PVC trim, wood, metal, fiberglass, and other exterior building materials. Designed for use in both residential and commercial applications, TrimGrip offers a slower-setting, UV-stable, and waterproof bond that exceeds the structural strength of the substrate itself.
Ideal for fabricators, installers, and contractors, TrimGrip outperforms competitors like PVC TrimWelder in working time, bond strength, versatility, and finish—making it the superior solution for architectural trim assemblies.
Key Benefits
-
Extended Working Time (12–18 Minutes)
Provides ample time for accurate part alignment, clamping, and finishing—ideal for larger assemblies or variable conditions. -
Strong, Permanent Bond
Tensile strength of 2,500–3,500 psi on metal and fiberglass, 1,000+ psi on PVC substrates. Bonds typically exceed the strength of the materials themselves. -
UV-Stable and Weather-Resistant
Will not yellow or degrade from prolonged sun exposure. Designed for outdoor trim applications where aesthetics and durability matter. -
High Gap-Filling Capacity
Fills gaps up to 3/8″ for uneven joints, mitered cuts, or imperfect fits—ensuring secure and continuous adhesion. -
Broad Substrate Compatibility
Bonds a wide range of materials including:-
Cellular PVC
-
ABS and engineered plastics
-
Fiberglass
-
Aluminum and stainless steel
-
Painted or coated metals
-
-
Excellent Resistance to Environmental Exposure
Withstands exposure to vinegar, wine, household acids, and hydrocarbons. -
Low Surface Prep Requirements
Bonds effectively without abrasive preparation or primers, saving time during installation.
Common Applications
-
Bonding PVC trim boards, column wraps, and fascia
-
Fabricating architectural features with extended assembly time needs
-
Laminating large surfaces with composite materials or metal
-
Projects in hot or dry climates where faster adhesives cure too quickly
-
On-site trim adjustments and alignment-sensitive assemblies
-
General purpose trim bonding for Azek®, Kleer®, Versatex®, Wolf Trim®, CertainTeed®, and Koma® systems
