- Waiting time: none
- Open time: 10 to 15 minutes at 20°C and relative humidity of 50%
- Setting time: immediate bonding of fixings
- Full cure: approx. 24-48 hours
- Working temperature: from -10° to +35°C, but preferably between +5° to +35°C
Safety:
IMPORTANT: before embarking on any work involving MASTIFIX A100 the separate Product Safety Data Sheet must be studied carefully by those carrying out the work.
Observe good hygiene in use. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Shelf life:
Up to 18 months in the original unopened cartridge, stored between +5 and +30°C.
PREPARATION
Surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry and free of grease, oil or dust. Any loose or flaking paint must be removed and lightly sanded before application.
One of the surfaces to be bonded must be absorbent
APPLICATION
For small and long pieces (less than 8 cm width) apply on the surface a 4-6 mm bead of adhesive from the cartridge using an extrusion gun.
For larger pieces, apply to the surface several beads of adhesive spaced 5 cm apart. Place the piece to be bonded into position and press firmly over entire surface to smooth the adhesive. Fixed piece can be repositioned during several seconds after bonding.
Bonding heavy panels
Follow the above-mentioned application method, but after pressing the piece into position, pull both surfaces apart. This method is used to transfer adhesive onto the substrate. Adjust the piece immediately into position and press firmly together. The bond is immediate.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Solvent-free grab adhesive is efficient for all substrate assembly when one part is porous or absorbent like brick, concrete, plaster, wood. In case of bonding two impervious substrates (like plastic to metal) we recommend the use of solvent-based grab adhesive.
Cleaning
Fresh spillages can be cleaned with water
