Applications & Uses

Limitations

• Apply between 40ºF (4ºC) and 100ºF (38ºC), protect from freezing until dry.
• Always test plastic foam insulation for warpage when using a water-based adhesive.
• Not suggested for sealing vapor barrier jackets.
• Overhead applications may require mechanical fasteners.

Preparation and Application Information

Material Preparation
Stir well. DO NOT THIN. Apply only to clean, dry, oil-free surfaces. Keep container closed when not in use.

Application

• Spray: Apply the Foster® STIC-FASTM adhesive to the metal surface uniformly at 300 – 500 sq. ft./gal. (7.4 – 12.3 m2 /l). While still wet, press the insulation into place, making sure that complete contact is made with applied adhesive.
• Average viscosity range: 1,000 – 2,000 cps. Before using for the first time, existing spray systems must be completely cleaned and free of the old adhesive and solvents. Corrosion resistant pumps and fittings are suggested.

The following equipment combinations are suggested:

	Model Spraygun	Fluid Nozzle	Air Cap	Fluid Pressure	Atomization Pressure
Binks	2001 SS	68	68PB	25 – 30 psi	60 – 70 psi
DeVilbiss	JGA-510	E	777	25 psi	60 – 70 psi

• Not recommended for airless spray application.
• Brush/Roller
  • Use clean equipment suitable for water-based paints..

Clean Up
To clean up, use warm soapy water if still wet. When dry, use xylene (flammable) or chlorinated solvent (non-flammable).
