Foster® Stic-FAS™ Adhesive 85-65™

• STIC-FAS^TM Adhesive is formulated for use in duct liner machines, both air atomized spray and roll coater types. It has excellent hot peel strength and high humidity resistance. Once dry and cured, it has outstanding water resistance.
• STIC-FAS^TM Adhesive is water-based and non-flammable in the wet state. It meets the requirements of ASTM C916-85, Type II (ASC-A-7001, Type II). STIC-FAS^TM Adhesive meets NFPA 90A & 90B 25/50 requirements.

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:

• 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).

• 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.

¹ - Tested at coverage rate of 300 sq. ft. per gal. Applied to 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) inorganic reinforced cement board. The flame spread may vary at different product thicknesses and/or when applied over other surfaces.
