Adhesives
PL500 Adhesive
Available Sizes: 10 fl. oz., 28 fl. oz
Preparation:
The temperature of the adhesive, the surfaces and the working area must be between 0°F (-18°C) and 100°F (38°C). For smooth, fast, easy application during cold weather, store adhesives at room temperature (70° ± 5°F) 24 hours prior to use.
Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, structurally sound and free of dust, grease, oil or other contaminants.To increase adhesion, sand glossy surfaces to a dull finish. Pre-fit all materials prior to applying product. Cut off tip of cartridge at 45° angle to desired bead size.
For exterior applications, the recommended bead size is 3/8′ (9.5 mm). Puncture seal inside of nozzle.
Application:
Apply a continuous zigzag bead to one surface to be bonded. Apply the adhesive at a rate so that the materials can be positioned and fastened within 10 minutes. All projects may require support until adhesive has cured. It is recommended that all foot traffic stay off of paver stones or retainingcaps for at least 24 to 48 hours after installation and heavy traffic for approximately 4 to 5 days.
For Landscape Blocks:
When installing the cap onto the final course of landscape blocks, apply a 6.3 mm (¼’) bead approximately 5 cm (2′) in from the front and 5 cm (2′) in from the back of the cap to be installed.
For Concrete Paving Stones:
Apply an ‘S’ shaped bead approximately 6.3 mm (¼’) to 9.5 mm (3/8′) in diameter to the back of the stone to be installed. If using old concrete, clean it with a 20% hydrochloric acid solution.
Cleanup:
Clean tools and uncured adhesive residue immediately with acetone or mineral spirits in a well-ventilated area to the outdoors. Cured adhesive may be carefully cut away with a sharp-edged tool.
Recommended For:
- Use on Metal
- Use on Brick, Stone, Slate, & Concrete
- Use on Block wall caps
- Use on Timbers, & Wood
Not Recommended For:
- Use on plastics
- Use on Applications over hygroscopic salt-treated wood, such as:
- Zinc chloride treatments; these substances attract, absorb and retain moisture.
- Use on Foam board insulation
- Use in Continuous water submersion
PL Premium Adhesive
Available Sizes: 10 fl. oz., 28 fl. oz
Preparation:
Use above 40°F (4°C). Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of frost, grease, dust and other contaminants. Pre-fit all materials and protect finished surfaces. If using cartridge format, cut nozzle at a 45° angle to desired bead size and puncture inner seal. Be very careful not to allow Loctite® PL® Premium to cure on a finished surface.
Application:
Apply adhesive to one surface of the material being bonded. Press the surfaces firmly together. Materials may be repositioned within 45 minutes after applying the adhesive. If bonding two non-porous surfaces (such as foam, metal and fiberglass), add water in the form of a very light or atomized spray from a plant mister bottle to the extruded adhesive. The repositioning time will then be reduced to less than 30 minutes. Use mechanical support for 24 hours while the adhesive cures
Cleanup:
Clean tools and uncured adhesive residue immediately with mineral spirits in a well-ventilated area to the outdoors. Remove cured adhesive by carefully scraping with a sharp-edged tool.
Recommended For:
- Bonding most common construction materials such as: wood, treated wood, hardwood flooring, concrete, stone, marble, slate, masonry, brick, foam insulation of all sorts, carpets, metal, lead, cement-based products, ceramic, fiberglass, drywall, and mirrors.
Not Recommended For
- Polystyrene, polyethylene or polypropylene
- Plastic Tub Surrounds
- Certain materials such as rubbers and plastics may have bonding difficulties; test before use in water submersion applications.
SB10 Adhesive
Available Sizes: 10 fl. oz., 28 fl. oz
Preparation:
Inspect substrate to be sure it is structurally sound with no spalling, cracking or scaling. For ultimate adhesion, surface should be clean, free from dirt, oil and grease, excessive water, ice or any other material. If cleaning is needed, prepare surface with SureClean
Deep Penetrating Multi-Use Cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and let dry before applying SB-10 Paver Bond. Before application, inspect pavers or stone to ensure they are smooth, flat and of the same height. Because of SB-10 Paver Bond’s quick set uptime, dry fit all pieces to be adhered prior to applying SB-10. Ensure proper drainage so that water does not collect or drain into adhered areas.
Application
Cut nozzle to desired size and puncture inner seal. Apply a 1/8” to 3/8” bead of SB-10 Paver Bond using a caulking gun. On most applications, apply SB-10 Paver Bond in a ‘S’ shape. Where there is a potential for moisture infiltration such as but not limited to concrete overlays on an existing step or sidewalk, apply multiple lines of SB-10 Paver Bond running in the same direction as the flow of drainage. Set in place and tamp gently with a rubber mallet to compress the adhesive. Positioning and aligning should be done within 10-15 minutes of application.
Cleanup:
Use mineral spirits or chlorinated solvents following manufacturer’s instructions and precautionary information. Recommended For Concrete and clay pavers, steps, coping systems, seat walls, retaining walls and caps, columns and caps, outdoor kitchens, masonry and brick, natural and manufactured stone, and slate.
Also bonds to other building materials such as treated lumber, aluminum foil back sheathing, gypsum, fiberglass and composite decking materials.
Not Recommended For:
- Do not use below grade, where water is always present or where there is direct contact with fire.
