TensorGrip M38 Low VOC Polyurethane Adhesive for Foam and Upholstery industry

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

As part of our MARINE range, M38 is a low-VOC (volatiles content), web spray adhesive that is moisture resistant. It is suitable for bonding carpet, foam, rubber, fabric and synthetic leather.

TensorGrip® M38 NON-MECL LOW VOC (does not contain methylene chlroride) is a revolutionary, high perfomance plasticiser resistant adhesive, specially formulated to bond all commonly used substrates found within the foam and upholstery industry. The M38 will bond vinyl, rubber, leathers and plastics, as inthe past this was not possible because of the leeching plasticisers migrating from the vinyl’s causing delamination. M38 is unique due to its capability to bond foams and fabric single sided when in conjunction with niprollers.

ADVANTAGES

• 100%resistant to delamination caused by plasticizer migration
• High temperature resistance – up to155°C
• Very Good Green Strength
• Fast tack time
• Super smooth webspray
• Will bond many fabrics to difficult substrates
• Very high solids
• Single sided bonding
• Waterproof

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• This product is designed to be applied to two surfaces to be bonded together. Make sure that surfaces are clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, oil, loose paint, wax or grease, etc. For best results, the temperature of the adhesive and the surfaces being bonded should be between 60°F-80°F (16°C-27°C).
• Use with adequate ventilation. When possible we recommend shaking the canister well before using. Attach and secure hose tightly onto the spray gun with required tip.Attachtheotherendofthehoseontothecanister.Make sure the hose-valve connections are securely tight. Open the valve on the canister slowly and fully, check for leaks during this process. Unlock the trigger on the spray gun to start spraying.
• Prior to use, Check compatibility by spraying a small test patch of the adhesive on the substrate. This product may degrade some substrates. Spray about 10-20 cm (4”– 8”) away at a 90 degree angle to the surface, applying a uniform, even coat of adhesive to obtain 80% to 100% coverage of the surface. If necessary, spray another coat of adhesive in areas that appear to need more adhesive. Spray bothsurfaces to be bonded, one surface vertically and the other surface horizontally. Allow the adhesive to tack off until no adhesive transfers to the knuckle when touched.
• Adheresurfacesandpresstogetherwithadequatepressure. A roller is recommended to apply a uniform pressure to achieve maximum strength. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fullycure.
• If the spray tip clogs, unscrew the spray tip from the gun and clean with solvent such as lacquer thinner or acetone. Do not use a pin on the spray tiporifice.

CANISTER STORAGE/CHANGE OVER

Turn valve on canister into the off position, spray out remaining adhesive left in the hose, disconnect the spray hose and gun from the canister.

Reconnect the spray hose to a canister of cleaning solvent (sold separately) and spray out until liquid is clear which indicates that the hose and gun is clean. If you choose to leave the hose and spray gun on the canister, leave the valve on the canister open. Do not disconnect the hose/gun from the canister. Close and lock the spraygun.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

For optimum results store canister above 18°C during use, but must always be above 10°C. Allow substrates to acclimatise to normal room temperature (18°C) for 48 hours before bonding. Do not exceed open time of the adhesive. Keep canister off cold concrete floors during use. If adhesive is expelled wet or as ajet, canister is too cold–move to warm environment and allow to thoroughly acclimatise before reusing.

CAUTION

• Use only in well ventilated areas.
• DO NOT thin or reactivate with solvents.
• DO NOT incinerate. DO NOT expose to extreme heat over 50°C.
• Keep away from sources of ignition.
• Release pressure before disconnecting hose.
• Test for suitability before use.
