Contact Adhesive
Technical Data Sheet
1.
DESCRIPTION
Antel
Contact Adhesive is a brushable, general purpose, high
performance contact adhesive.
It exhibits excellent adhesion
to most surfaces and has good heat resistance.
Bonds may be
made over a wide range of open times because of its fast flash
off and long open time.
2.
USES
Particularly
recommended for bonding decorative laminates
to wood and wood
composites in the kitchen furniture
industry.
It is also suitable for generally bonding :-
Plastics
(not expanded polystyrene or plasticised
PVC)
Metals
Leather
Rubber
Urethane
Foams

APPLICATION
Stir
the Antel Contact
Adhesive before use and ensure that the
surfaces to be bonded are clean and free from grease, dust
loose fibres, rust etc. Condition
materials to be bonded in the bonding environment overnight
(especially wood composites
and decorative laminates). Apply a thin even coat of
adhesive to both surfaces using a
short stiff brush. When
surfaces become touch dry align the
bond edges and bond under maximum pressure.
For best
results laminates should be nip rolled or platen pressed.
If this
is not possible use a hard roller and go over the entire working
surface using as much bodyweight as possible.
Seams
and
edges should always receive extra pressure.
If possible
sandwich the panel edge between wooden battens and use G-
clamps.
The newly bonded material should not be subjected to
extreme
temperature changes for three to four days after
bonding and avoid further fabrication until the adhesive
has fully cured.
