Application Guidance
Apply to clean, dry substrates free of dust, oil, and contaminants. Use a brush, roller, or roll coater to apply a uniform coat to both surfaces at recommended coverage rates. Allow adhesive to dry completely before bonding, ensuring no transfer to the touch. For porous materials, two coats may be required. Assemble within the open time and apply firm, even pressure to achieve full contact. Avoid use on incompatible materials such as polystyrene foam or plasticized vinyl, and maintain adequate ventilation during application.
Typical Use Cases
- Decorative laminate bonding
- Cabinet and millwork fabrication
- Furniture assembly
- Foam and rubber bonding
- General industrial contact bonding
Target Industries and Buyers
- Cabinet and millwork shops
