Woodwork Adhesive

Technical Data Sheet

1. DESCRIPTION

Antel Woodwork Adhesive is a fully compounded vinyl acetate homopolymer dispersion for use in adhesive applications.  It is a stable dispersion of inert polymer particles in water.  A low hazard product.

2.  USES

A fast rate of bond strength for timbers.  It exhibits a very good viscosity stability with very low timber staining characteristics.

3.  PACKAGING        

500 gms, 1 kgs, 2.5 kgs, 5 kgs and 25 kgs plastic containers.

4.  STORAGE

To maintain the product in a good condition store in secure, cool, dry conditions in original closed containers between 5°C and 30°C .  Protect from freezing.  Keep out of reach of children.  Storage for no longer than six months is recommended under the above conditions.

5.  COLOUR

Viscous White liquid.

6.  HEALTH & SAFETY

No respiratory protection is required if using in well ventilated areas but if using by spray or in poorly ventilated areas a face mask, safety glasses and protective gloves/clothing should be used.  If inhaled remove to fresh air.  Irritating to eyes and skin.  If in contact with the eyes flush with copious amounts of water and consult a doctor.  Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.
