soundproofing:
Sta-Put Aerosol Contact Adhesive
overview
A general purpose special high strength, water/heat resistant clear web spray very effective contact adhesive developed for use with all of our sound insulating materials.
testimonial
"It’s easy to use and very effective with the SBM-5 mat both on vertical and inverted surfaces. I have also used it on soundproofing materials, bought from another supplier & it is more successfull than the adhesive supplied with their material, particularly for the inverted section!” John Bedford
Applications
Sprayable Contact Adhesive is an aerosol contact adhesive developed for gluing Soundproofing Mat to a wide variety of surfaces with no adverse effect. It has a high solids content and is water resistant and heat resistant with permanent flexibility.
The adhesive is also useful for sticking a wide variety of other sound insulating materials including acoustic foam and M20AD thin wall soundproofing. It is particularly good to work with due to its low solvent content and low odour so does not leave strong fumes lingering during and after use.
Directions
PLEASE NOTE !! THIS IS A CONTACT ADHESIVE. ONCE THE PRODUCT IS OFFERED UP TO THE SURFACE AND STUCK IT CANNOT BE EASILY RE POSITIONED SO TAKE CARE TO GET IT RIGHT FIRST TIME!
Shake can well before use (especially in cold conditions) Best results are obtained when working in an ambient temperature of 70oF/21oC with surfaces to be bonded properly conditioned. In these temperatures an immediate bond can be obtained with no waiting time but in cooler temperatures, allow a little time for the adhesive to go from wet to ‘tacky’ before bonding the sound insulation being used. First, ensure all surfaces are thoroughly clean and free from moisture, dirt, dust and grease or any other materials that could affect the bond.
For vertical or horizontal patterns, turn tip in spray nozzle to obtain the widest spray pattern. There are markings on the rim immediately beneath the nozzle that will act as a guide. Hold spray can 6 to 8 inches from the surface and apply in even coats, making sure the adhesive 'webs' across the surface. Do not hold closer than 6 inches or 'wet' the surface.
It is important the adhesive 'webs' across the surface and 80 - 100% coverage is achieved. The substrate should be sprayed vertically and the sound insulation horizontally. Do not concentrate in one spot or allow the adhesive to 'puddle'. Double coating applications are recommended on porous surfaces such as with sound absorbing foam (after the first coat has dried, apply a second coat evenly on top). Allow adhesive to tack (approx 2 - 4 minutes) and bond together with a firm pressure over the entire area. Tack time can vary depending on climate conditions as described earlier. It is important that maximum uniform pressure is applied over the entire area being glued to achieve maximum bond strength. Although the aerosol adhesive is low odour, it is advised the adhesive is used in well ventilated conditions.
