FAQs

What is the maximum temperature the AS 1216 adhesive can withstand?

The AS 1216 High Temperature Spray Adhesive has a heat resistance of up to 100°C.

Can I use this adhesive on vinyl or plastic surfaces?

While it bonds well to many materials, it is not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, or silicone. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area of vinyl or plastic first.

How long should I wait after spraying before joining the materials?

Allow the adhesive to become tacky, which typically takes 30-60 seconds. This time can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

What is the shelf life of this spray adhesive?

Aerosol cans typically have a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored correctly in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Refer to the can for specific expiry dates.

How do I clean up excess adhesive?

While the adhesive is wet, it can be cleaned with a suitable solvent. Once cured, removal can be difficult and may require mechanical abrasion or specialized adhesive removers.

Is this adhesive suitable for outdoor use?

It is designed for interior applications, particularly in vehicles. While it has heat resistance, its long-term performance against prolonged UV exposure or extreme weather conditions is not its primary design focus. Test in a small area if considering outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern

Ensure the nozzle is clean and free from obstruction. Shake the can vigorously for a longer period. Test spray on a scrap piece of material.

Weak bond or adhesion failure

Verify that surfaces were clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Ensure sufficient adhesive was applied and the correct dwell time was allowed before bonding. Check if the temperature exceeds the adhesive's resistance limit.

Clogged nozzle after use

Invert the can immediately after use and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the valve and nozzle. If clogged, gently clean the nozzle with a solvent like white spirit.

Adhesive remains wet and sticky

This can occur in high humidity or low temperatures. Increase ventilation or gently warm the application area if possible. Allow more time for tack development before bonding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat resistance for demanding applications.
  • Strong initial tack ensures quick and reliable adhesion.
  • Adjustable spray nozzle offers control and reduces waste.
  • Bonds a wide range of common interior materials.
  • Convenient aerosol format for fast and even application.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for all types of plastics or very rough surfaces.
  • Requires good ventilation during use due to aerosol nature.
  • Long-term performance on heavily vibrating surfaces should be tested.
  • Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion.
  • Not designed for structural load-bearing applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake Can: Ensure the can is thoroughly shaken before use, typically for 2 minutes after the mixing ball rattles.
  2. Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to open flames or excessive heat.
  3. Test Spray: Before full application, test the spray pattern on an inconspicuous area to ensure even distribution and desired coverage.

Compatibility:

  • Bonds To: Fabric, foam, carpets, wood, metal. Also bonds these materials to themselves.
  • Not Recommended For: Polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone, Teflon, or heavily treated/painted surfaces without prior testing.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep the cap on when not in use.
  • Nozzle Care: After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
  • Surface Cleaning: Clean any overspray or adhesive residue from surrounding surfaces immediately with a suitable solvent while wet.
