Our TensorGrip® L40 will bond various substrates, including wood, metals, rubber, fabric, most plastics, cardboard, polythene and concrete, and decorative laminates. It is ideal for permanent bonds that require good initial bond strength.
This adhesive provides good temperature resistance and, if protected from contamination, has an open time of several hours.
Always test a small sample of the materials first to ensure the product’s suitability for the application.
For instance, some types of vinyl contain large amounts of plasticiser, which, over time, can migrate and soften the bond. When in doubt, test first.
Do not use flexible PVC or expanded polystyrene.

Directions to use
Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust. Excessive dust will impair performance. Concrete and screed floors should be fully cured with an effective damp-proof membrane. See BS CP102 and BS 5325. For best results, the substrate and product should be bonded at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C.
Asphalt and surface membranes must be covered with at least 3mm of good-quality smoothing compound.
Dusty or friable surfaces should be treated with a suitable primer. Underfloor heating should be turned off for 48 hours before and after the installation.
Attach a suitable spray nozzle to the contact glue spray gun. Use a spray adhesive gun with a 40cm extension to apply the adhesive whilst standing.
Connect the hose to the canister and the spray gun to the hose and tighten the connections. If there are any leaks, draw the connection at the source of the leak.
Open the valve on the canister. The valve should remain open until the canister is used up. Use the locking nut on the gun after use. Turning off the valve will result in the adhesive drying in the hose and gun, causing blockages.
Hold the spray gun 10-20cm away at 90° from the surface and apply a uniform coat of adhesive, ensuring 80-100% coverage.
When the adhesive is dry and very tacky, it is ready to have the flooring material bonded to it.
Porous substrates may require two applications.
Drying takes approximately 1 to 2 minutes, depending on substrates, ambient temperature and humidity. Over-spraying and pooling of the adhesive will increase drying.
After spraying, remove the spray gun tip and rinse with Solvent Cleaner before it has cured.
Keep the valve open and the hose attached to the canister until no more adhesive exists. If the hose is removed, clean through with solvent cleaner to prevent adhesive drying, which will cause the gun and hose to block. Turn the canister off before removing the hose.
