Description

X-Bond Construction Adhesive

Features:

• Is a construction panel adhesive that, will not slump on vertical surfaces.
• It has been formulate to bond to a wide variety of construction materials including;
  • PVC
  • Wood
  • Gypsum board
  • Concrete
  • Masonry
  • Aluminium
  • Galvanized iron
  • Steel
  • Fibrous cement sheet
  • Floor paneling

• Safe to use on foamed polystyrene and mirror backed tiles.
• Easy to apply.
• High initial grab.
• Strong bonding strength.
• Good water resistance.
• Styrene safe.

Application instructions:

X-Bond construction adhesive can be apply either by 1-way wet stick adhesive method or 2-way contact method. In both cases, the first requirement is that both surfaces to be bond must be clean, dry and free of grease, oil and dust. Any loose or flaking paint must be remove and lightly sand before application.

• 1-way wet stick adhesive method:
  • Recommended for heavier panels. Apply 4-6mm bead adhesive to one surface, beads should not be 45mm apart and butt joint should be adhered on both surfaces. Bringing substrate together with clamped, nailed or screwed to maintain maximum surface contact at bonded interface. Clean off excess adhesive with toluene or xylene. Temporary fastening can be release after 24 hours.
  • For flooring application, the adhesive should be applied to the flooring manufacturer’s specifications. To stop floor squeaking, apply a bead of adhesive into the groove of each panel after it is laid and immediately prior to mating the tongue from the next panel.
• 2-way contact method:
  • Apply adhesive to one surface and bringing substrate together. Press firmly over entire surface to transfer adhesive and then pull both surfaces apart. Allow to tack off for 3-5 minutes. Reposition and press firmly together. Contact area should be tapped with hammer and padded block to ensure intimate contact. Maximum bonding will take about 12-72 hours to reach. Some mechanical fastening may be retain for this period. Clean off excess adhesive with toluene or xylene.

Not recommended for:

• Underwater applications or permanent water immersion.
• Polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon or teflon.
• Bonding two non-porous surfaces.
• Should not be use where, continuous exposure to elevated temperature will occur.

Curing time:

X-Bond construction adhesive will bond in approximately 7-24 hours in room temperature. The curing time might be longer for smoother surfaces.
