Evo-Stik Impact Solvent Free Adhesive is a high strength, multipurpose adhesive that bonds on contact with no need for clamping or support. It has the power to bond most types of materials, and will even fix non-porous surfaces together e.g. metal to metal, making it ideal for a wide range of DIY tasks and household repairs.
Preparation:
Substrates to be bonded must be perfectly clean dry and free from dust, paint, grease and loose material
Smooth or polished surfaces must first be roughened with fine abrasive
Rubber and similar materials must be abraded well and then the bonding area vigorously wiped with a cloth damped with EVO-STIK Adhesive Cleaner (a solvent based cleaner). Without such treatment a poor bond will result.
If degreasing is necessary, use Evo-Stik Adhesive Cleaner
Application:
To prevent splashes, place the tin on a flat surface and lever the lid off gently with a screwdriver
Evo-Stik Impact Solvent Free is suitable for application by brush, paint pad, paint roller or sponge
The use of a notched or serrated spreader is not recommended as too much adhesive will be applied and this will take very much longer to dry
Thoroughly stir the contents of the container before use
Application by paint pad or by roller is very quick and applies a smooth thin layer of adhesive which will dry reasonably quickly
Both surfaces to be bonded should be coated with an even coat of adhesive and allowed to become touch dry
Porous surfaces such as plaster may require a second coat. The milky white opaque adhesive becomes nearly clear when dry
The adhesive dries by evaporation of water into the atmosphere and on porous substrates also by absorption of the water into the pores
The drying time is very dependent on substrate, coating weight, temperature and humidity. Under normal conditions the film dries in 30 minutes at 20 Deg.C
The process can be accelerated by warming e.g. by radiant heat or by passage of a current of warm air over the surface
Bonding:
It is important to leave the adhesive until it changes colour before bonding
Align the surfaces carefully when in place; press together gently, preferably, within 2 hours of drying
Apply as much pressure as possible by hand roller, static press or nip roller without causing damage. Sustained pressure is unnecessary- High strength adhesive that bonds on contact
