• Low VOC Emissions: Complies with indoor air quality standards for safer environments.
• Versatile Dispensing: Compatible with manual and pneumatic dispensers for ease of installation.
• Optimized Cure Rate: Designed for room temperature use with predictable curing times.
• Storage Recommendations: Best stored in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area between 5-23°C to maintain shelf life.

Applications and Typical Usage

• Solid Surface Fabrication: Ideal for joining Corian® and similar solid surface materials in countertops, sinks, and wall cladding.
• Quartz Surface Bonding: Suitable for rigidly bonding quartz slabs and components in kitchen and bathroom installations.
• Seamless Surface Joints: Creates strong, invisible joints that maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of surfaces.
• Indoor Installations: Used in residential and commercial interior fit-outs where low emissions are critical.
• Manual and Automated Assembly: Compatible with various dispensing systems for flexible manufacturing processes.

Technical Notes

The adhesive cures optimally at room temperature; lower temperatures slow the cure rate, while higher temperatures accelerate curing and reduce working time. It is flammable and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions. The adhesive is not recommended for bonding dissimilar materials unless expressly approved by DuPont.

Storage is critical to maintain product performance. Cartridges should be stored on their sides in a dark, well-ventilated environment between 5°C and 23°C. Avoid freezing or exposure to elevated temperatures to prevent degradation and shortened shelf life.
