SUPERMAX™ ADHESIVE

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: ADHESIVE MAX is a clear transparent, 100% acrylic, universal membrane adhesive and bonding Primer Sealer. A water-based latex, high resin content formula that contains no fillers or pigments. This is a medium viscosity acrylic formula designed to provide a tenacious bond in fully adhered, single ply roofing applications. ADHESIVE MAX features a short dry time, making it an ideal product for applications dictated by production line speed. Allows both permanent and repositionable bonding. This material remains flexible once cured, allowing for expansion and contraction of the attached roofing membrane. Excellent penetrating characteristics enable ADHESIVE MAX to permeate into the substrate providing a permanent bond to the finish coat. On non-porous substrates, the high resin content provides excellent adhesion to the surface then forming a tight bond to the membrane. The bond that is formed between ADHESIVE MAX and the membrane eliminates any possibility of moisture under the membrane thus decreasing the chance of moisture damage under the membrane.

PRODUCT USES: Excellent adhesion on most any sloped or flat surfaces including: paper, fabric, cardboard, most plastics, most rubbers, felt, cork, weathered wood, shakes, plywood, clapboard, primed metal, galvanized, aluminum, tin, copper, asbestos, asphalt, urethane, polyester, styrofoam, stucco, concrete, clay, masonry, slate, slab, built-up-roofs, modified bitumen membranes, rolled roofing, mineral surfaced roofing and various other substrates. For use on residential, commercial and industrial applications.

SURFACE PREPARATION: For proper adhesion it is essential that the surface is prepared properly. Clean Exterior Surfaces by thoroughly pressure washing with a water and chlorine solution using at least 1500 P.S.I. to remove any previous coatings, dirt, grease, and other foreign materials, especially mold, mildew and algae. ADHESIVE MAX will resist mildew growth, but will not kill mildew already on the surface. Rinse thoroughly. Remove loose paint and powdery substances. Patch any holes, cracks, seams, imperfections, etc., with PERMAPATCH™, Waterproofing Caulk & Sealant. Metal: Clean surface of all grease, oil and foreign matter before priming. Rusted metal and uncoated metal must be primed with METAL-PRIME™, a Red Iron Oxide Primer Sealer. Use a degreaser on galvanized or coated metals which have oils or surface treatments. Check ADHESIVE MAX adhesion on galvanized or coated metal by applying to a small area and evaluating after 48 hours. If lack of adhesion is present after evaluating, metal must be lightly scuffed without penetrating the coated finish or galvanizing. NOTE: New masonry must age 60 days before coating. APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Stir well before using. Do not thin, use product as is. Do not apply when temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit or when humidity is very high. Do not apply when coating will be subjected to rain or heavy dew before it has had enough time to dry (approx. 1 to 2 hours). Drying time will vary depending on temperature, humidity and location. Apply using brush, roller or spray. Spread adhesive uniformly. Spread Rate will vary depending on substrate. Apply a coat between 10 to 12 mils wet film thickness. Immediately lay the membrane into the adhesive. Reposition membrane as quickly as possible before adhesive sets up. Airless Sprayers: Use at least a 1 gallon per minute piston type airless sprayer with a maximum tip size of .021. Remove all line filters and gun filters before spraying. Clean Up: Clean all spills and tools immediately after use while coating is wet with warm soapy water.
