Apollo A8489 NF Contact Adhesive 5ltr

product overview

Apollo A8489 is a Genklene free, cream coloured, non-flammable, brushable multi purpose high performance 'contact' adhesive. It is clean to use and is particularly recommended for bonding rigid plastic laminates (e.g. 'Formica') to wood or wood composites.

It has versatile properties and is also suited to making permanent contact bonds between materials such as rigid PVC, PVC leather-cloth, GRP, polyurethane foam, rubber sheet and extrusions, all of which may be bonded to each other or to hardboard, chipboard, plywood and painted or unpainted metal.

A8489 is well proven and established in a wide cross section of industries such as automotive and coachbuilding, boat building, shopfitting and bar fitting trades, furniture and leather goods manufacture where it is used to bond a wide variety of materials.

Instructions for Use:

1. Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and free from grease, dust, and other contaminants.

2. Using a brush or scraper apply an even coat to both surfaces. The amount of adhesive required willvary according to porosity/smoothness of the substrate.

3. When the surfaces become tacky (3 - 20 minutes), assemble the substrates and consolidate undermaximum pressure to ensure a secure bond. Apollo recommends using hand or nip rollers.

4. Substrates may be handled almost immediately after assembly.

5. Full bond strength will not be achieved until 24 hours after assembly.
