PU Woodworking Adhesive

Technical Data Sheet

1.  DESCRIPTION

Antel PU Woodworking Adhesive is a moisture curing, one part, Polyurethane adhesive specifically designed for use in the woodworking industry.  It will bond a wide variety of materials including wood, plastics and metals.

2.  SURFACE PREPARATION

Materials to be bonded should be clean and free from dust, grease and other contaminants.   Metals should be stored in a warm environment prior to bonding to avoid chilling the glue line, which leads to extended cure times.

Most pre-finished metals have backing coats which are well suited to bonding.

Some grades of Aluminium, Galvanised Steel and plastics can be difficult to bond and may require the use of a primer.  A test panel should always be prepared when new materials are to be used to establish the adhesive compatibility.

6.  APPLICATION

Apply the adhesive to wood joint via squeezy bottle, brush or scraper.  Position the joint and tightly clamp until the adhesive has cured.   If substrates to be bonded are moisture free, i.e. metals, plastics, a light moisture overmist may be required to obtain full cure.   Whilst curing the adhesive may foam.  When fully cured, the foam can easily be sanded.
