Contact Cement

Our Contact Cement is the perfect binding material between concrete and other substances, ensuring strong adhesion of subsequent layers. It’s suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, providing reliable bonding.

Description

How to Use:

  • Ensure that both surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. Smooth out any irregularities and make sure they fit together perfectly.
  • Before you begin, ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area. Contact cement emits fumes that can be harmful if inhaled in largeĀ  quantities. Open windows or use fans to keep the air flowing.
  • Apply the Cement using a brush or roller. Apply a thin, even coat of contact cement to both surfaces you want to bond. Make sure to cover the entire area that will come in contact with each other.
  • Wait for the solvent to evaporate. The time required will depend on the manufacturer’s instructions, but typically it takes around 10-15 minutes. The cement should feel dry to the touch.
  • Align and Press the Surfaces Together
  • To ensure a strong bond and remove any air pockets, use a J-roller to apply even pressure across the entire surface.
  • While the bond is initially strong, allowing the contact cement to cure for 24 hours is recommended. During this time, the bond will reach its maximum strength.
  • Clean any excess contact cement using mineral spirits or the solvent the manufacturer recommends. Make sure to do this before the cement cures completely.
  • Always wear protective gloves and eye gear when working with contact cement. Avoid skin contact and keep it away from open flames or ignition sources.
